Lots of young guys who don't care where their tools, parts, etc, come from. Snapon, Mac and Cornhole in the shop every week. And they have HF or Lowes tool boxes full of off shore stuff. It's all about the money and "it's good enough".

I spent a lot of years making payments to the Snap on man every week. Still use all of it everyday. The scarcity of off shore crap in my building is a reflection of the pride I take in everything I do.


I started a thread about Amazon AN stuff a few weeks ago, out of curiosity. I broke down and let the guy bring me the stuff. Total garbage. Laughable. Normal wrenches didn't fit them. Hose was trash. Fell apart when I tried to force it into the out of whack fittings. $50 for what would have been at least 500 from Fragola or Aeroquip. Never again. I'm too old and grumpy to deal with garbage and half a$$ stuff..
