When I made my living with my tools in the body shop business I got only high quality products.(Snap-on, Matco, etc.)

Now that I use them as a hobby, if I need something for a small job I will get something cheap. If I think it is a tool I will need for any length of time I will spend the extra money and get a better product.

I don't like getting this crap from China either, but thanks be to our political pea brain leaders who think its good for us, we are not going to see an end to the flood of garbage any time soon.

The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." - John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873)
