I've been using Hyperlube for about 20 years. Works great for assembly lube, and for ratchets. http://www.hyperlube.com/c3/Oil-Supplement-c6.html

They will only fail if they choose to fail. They own 1000's of buildings and inventory. The internet should have raised there profits, not lowered. They need a radical change in management.

Not sure what your speaking of, but I posted this link a week back, and mine showed up today. I can say this is a fine ratchet! Indexing is smooth and precise, and has a very smooth 72 tooth ratchet head. It's sooooo nice, a may just buy one more!:thumbup...

I run some HFT in my box, mostly(if not all), there Taiwan stuff, as I find it to be as high of quality as my USA stuff. I use there Pittsburg Pro impacts, and 1/2 inch drive hex sockets(at $30. per set, there not exactly cheap).

I'm not seeing your math, as the link you posted is $20. higher, or 35% more.

Not a super hot deal, but about half off the going rate! http://www.ebay.com/itm/331238438421?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Green lee has some meters made by Brymen. They are very good for the money. There's a Green lee DM-510A that I found as low as $65. off Ebay. Lifetime warranty for as long as the model is current. It's better than any fluke for the money. Believe me, I have 9 Flukes. Flukes are good meters...

Maybe they have no choice on the garage build, because of codes, permits, and inspections. And they may not know the difference in tools. If I used my tools a couple of times a year on a bicycle, I may not spend a whole lot on tools.

I love my Millermatic 211.

I don't care for the look of those. You can Hazet.

I like my 1/2 shorts. I ran a 1-1/4" with a 6 ft cheater on a 3 ft braker bar. We got close to 2 ft of flex, and when the nut broke lose, folks could hear the crack about 200 ft away. Socket still looks new(I've only had the set for a week) So far so good.

I had a 1/4 semi freeze up, but it turned out the gear was egg shaped. I just returned it, as I like my desalt 1/4 taiwan ratchet. I did get a 1/2 Premium thats the cats meow! I opened it up, did some light de-burring, and lubed it with some very light grease. Works better than any ratchet to...

Thank you.:) And I know these days, most new members of any forums are seen as troll like, until he/she proves different.:thumbup:

If everyone just used the search function, the forums would be very inactive. I was just sharing my findings. I never stated I was the first to notice imported tools. Thanks for the definitions, I'm glad to see I'm not a troll.:thumbup:

Seems like IPO's and bean counters helped destroy American tools, and maybe even America as a whole(time will tell).

Over the years I've found other brands that look 100% identical to the 90's HD wrenches. Some of the older Blackhawk's come to mind. And I think some of the Allen brand from 8~10 years back, look to share the same mold.

Montana sounds like a nice place. When I retire, a may move there, if Nevada gets too full.:)

You are correct to a point. A lot of the younger guys don't know the difference. When I first got in the craft(about 28 years back), if someone brought imported tools on a job, they would be laughed off the job site, and there tools would be vanished in the nearest hole. I did not agree with...

I've got a set of Polished and mat Finished Husky's, both have stamped, U.S.A. I bought the mat finished in 1995, and the polished a couple of years later.

I see those first gens at Flea markets all the time.:thumbup:
