You have to take some time and learn about the REAL World not the 1970s world you appear to be living in right now. China is way ahead of the US in many many areas especially in manufacturing, shipbuilding, robotics, alternate energy amongst others. You will see the precision and tolerances...

Maybe maybe not. If the patents are off Kreg obviously went overseas and probably sourced in China. It will be on temu or Aliexpress pretty quickly. Kreg seemingly is only bringing a cut rate price to the table. There of lots of companies that sell on price.

Maybe you could reassemble with an o-ring to take out slack and provide some friction / tightness.

As I said, I am talking the trades that build a house. They are supposed to be working not lugging a HEAVY box through the mud along with 59 drawers for everything they own. A plumber roughing in needs a tool hand tote, crimpers and a milk crate of fitttings and nails. Tomorrow on the same...

I will never buy this kind of tool boxes, but I've killed time looking at Dewalt and Milwaukee. IMHO, Dewalt wins hands down. They're a better price and not gimmicky. I ran the thought experiment of what different trades actually need on a job site building houses for example. YOu need a...

I got curious and asked Gemini AI ; I am going to put this in my toolbox. I have all the sizes, but you only use a few on any particular job. I agree with you that you need every wrench. common __________ metric wrench sizes European = 8mm, 10mm, 13mm, 15mm, 17mm, and 19mm. The 10mm and...

Nice wrenches, but I always check out reviews. Are all nut turners stupid or just this "Verified Purchaser". Dean 1.0 out of 5 stars Not bad Reviewed in Canada on July 15, 2023 Style: Jumbo Fractional Wrench Set Verified Purchase Wrenches don't seem to be terrible quality it's just that this...

What's the deception? Honestly, they are showing that they are keeping American content in their products. They could give up and go offshore as MOST TOOL COMPANIES have done. What bugs me is that are not investing in robots to the 'Finishing"

It is nice, it's a true story of hard working guys. If you had read my comment I said 'there used to be" and there was but it was demolished for the new freeway. You have the benefit of starting from scratch in the industry - these guys had to hit the road running. They did not have $4k boxes...

There used to be a station on the highway by our house. The mechanics were Russian Refugees. I was talking to the station owner and he said there whole toolset and box was from Canadian Tire. Their diagnostics were second hand whatever and I forget what they were using for air tools.. Their...

I do not understand all the Tekton fanboys on GJ. It is a pain in the *** and expensive to get **** shipped from the States. PA ProPoint and CT Mastercraft came out of the "same" factories in Taiwan. We need to support Canadian Retailer !!! When NAFTA was signed, 1994, all the branch plants...

American companies with their dealer locator are just embarassing. I found two of them today. If you want to fill your toolbox, take something that shows your in an apprenticeship program and go to PA. The manager here a few years ago would give you the sale price for the last year on a...

How Tall are you to get into the top drawer? Definitely bolt them and sturdily restrain them against a wall. They will be really tippy. When you actually look at the whells the pressure point is not at the outside of the cabinet. As an alternate way to join them, us 2 pieces of angle iton on...

I do not care what line it is !!! I expect top line Quality from Milton - that's simple. I paid money for a "top line one" and expected to get it. Secondly, China does not make Junk. They can make ANY QUALITY the buyer wants to pay for. China is far advanced to the US in many manufacturing...

I use the lost cost ones. I thought I would treat myself to a good one and bought a Milton - what a POS. It was 6+ pounds off coming out of the box. It went back and I upgraded my buying a better cheap one this style. I'm very happy with it. To me it is obvious that Milton is relying on...
