....some of the tools made years ago were made with better steel/material. Today we buy the "same" part number but the material is not the same as back then. They cheapen some products along the way but continue to claim the same quality.
For some reason, I still reach for some WIZARD (western auto) wrenches that I've had since the 60's and they even feel better in the hand.
I've been in the need of another tap and die set and appreciate the post you guys have made. I've been "trying" to use a Chinese set and cussed it everytime I tried a tap or die..... well, one day I just tossed the entire set in the big trash can and promised myself the next set would be much better!!
HMmmm, maybe Santa still has time to get me one
