    Made in China is inferior because of inferior workers or reduced specifications?

    See........you get it. You really do. It is not a question of ethnicity or culture. .......Wells Fargo- doesn't that sum up that without good leadership or oversight that even the mighty US worker can be (as the op says) an inferior worker/reduced specifications. People will get away with...

    Made in China is inferior because of inferior workers or reduced specifications?

    This is a false narrative. Your belief that it better in terms of sound, depth, tone, quality, fit, and finish is unscientific and demonstates your bias. This is the reason why China products are so popular. People want to believe that they are getting a BMW at a Corolla price. In some cases...

    Used BendPak LR-60 shoots hydraulic fluid

    Unless it is a steal (which it isn't), I learned long ago to run far when a seller blatantly lies or is so misinformed that a lie would be better.

    Shop neighbor knocked over a surface grinder!

    Sorry, I'm not following. Is he hurt or what happened? Hope everyone is ok. Not sure I understand what is going on? Was it connected and spewed material everywhere? Was he hurt bad?

    Does a large garage or quality out building increase your property value?

    Yeah you may not got every penny back on the "sale" by if you have a working garage- you make money back. You save but doing your own maintenance, increased sold prices on cars, no storage costs, allows you to do more work on the house......on and on. Our house is ok size. Mcmansions were...

    They Cut off the foundation J-Bolts?

    I agree with others. But if you insist on letting them fix this- get in writing what mistakes were made & what they will do to fix them. But they won't and I would not allow them to swing a hammer until that letter is signed. You will need it when you take them to court- that is where this is...

    Craftsman tools.

    I know the feeling. I used to go to Sears every week. I would hold on to what you have and going forward buy a different brand. I split between Harbor Freight, Home Depot, Amazon, and Snap-On.

    Another wifi question

    Thank you:D:D:D:D:D Not everyone is comfortable with routers. Hook up a unmanaged switch(this mean no logging in, it does everything for you) to your modem. This is just like when the cable company hooks up a splitter for your catv. You then can connect as many routers or any device. You...

    Another wifi question

    If you have Cat 5e into the garage, then the hard work is done. What I would do is get a wireless router and give the garage its own network with a unique ssid (network name). For a friend with your exact issue, we dug a trench in the cold NE winter and dropped conduit. Then we split that...

    HF 44" Wobbly

    If you reverse the box, then you can tell what the problem. If the same wheel is off the ground- box issue...if the same part of the floor has the wheel not touching- it is the floor. First determine the cause of the problem. This will make it easier to fix it

    Could use some quick level headed car related input from my friends here

    If I were you, I would try to get the local news involved. They eat stories like this up. Those reporters are great at looking out for the little guy. I would avoid vinyl wrapping the car or do any modifications to the car. Leave it as is any maybe post on their Facebook page and have your...
