    If you check the above Wal-Mart website, the description of the pliars state: Assembled in country of origin: USA and/or Imported Origin of components: USA and/or Imported (Well as least they don't try to hide where these tools come from. They come from ????)

    Floor Under Lift

    My 1200 sq ft garage has an epoxy floor, and 4 post lift. Naturally, most of the mess on the floor is under the lift (oil, gas, dropping tools and other objects, etc ) Any suggestions for this area? Think it's a good idea just to cover this area with mats, tiles, etc for added protection . It...

    Mohawk A-7 vs Chinese

    I bought a BendPak a few months ago, (HD-9) and it has a"Made in China" sticker. On other threads last year there were complaints about BendPak trying to hide (ie: stickers under the legs, less visible) the country of origin, but now they "proudly" place the stickers at eye level.

    Useless Tools - Rat ****

    Ever buy a really useless tool that you thought would be great at the time of purchase? I've had this RatShit for about 20 years and never used it. It's very heavy and well made.
