    Broke my brand new tubing cutter

    Klein. I think they make some pliers in the US. I think all my Klein stuff is Chinese. Plastic **** is to be expected.

    Remote control flail mower

    Bad position

    How are your shipping containers taxed?

    I just got off the phone with the tax people. They thought I was living inside one of my shipping containers. I sent in an affidavit and some photographs showing the conex was clearly full of junk. And they adjusted it to storage. All good. I asked him about how shipping containers were...
