Hey now, I carried a Glock for many years, rock solid weapon and have yet to personaly meet anyone that has had one fail or jam (quite a few considering my hometown PD switched to them in the early 90's). And now, after all the abuse and jokes, several manufacturers are trying to copy it.
Just sayin,...
On the topic of quality tools available now, todays young workers are learning, it depends on the field of course, but people that earn their money with tools learn pretty quickly.
I work on aircraft for a living, and some of the tools I use every day can be had for a few bucks at Harbor Freight, or a bit more at Sears or Home Depot, and for occasional use they might even hold up. But the use my tools see,... Better to pay more up front than to have your tool/s grenade in the middle of a big job. Even the used stuff costs a lot, pneumatic tools can be a killer.
What is kind of interesting, Chicago Pneumatic makes the super cheap stuff for Harbor Freight, but they have a industrial branch that makes much better but high dollar tools as well, same with CH air tools. Just sucks that those are made in China too.

I dig all cars, old and new, whether they were hammered out of American iron, German steel, or Japanese tin cans. Being unable to appreciate them all is missing out on a world of great things.
But thats just MY opinion! :P
