    Is my new-to-me Milwaukee grinder USA made? PICS

I don't know the age of this grinder, but I know many Milwaukee tools were made in the USA until recent years. Anyone have...

    Another horrible ebay packaging job + King Tony ratchet pics

    I ordered this 1/2" King Tony ratchet off ebay and it arrived...barely. It appears the seller put a large, heavy 1/2" ratchet in a padded paper envelope with no reinforcement. It then punched through the envelope, but a USPS worker took a minute to tape it back up so it wouldn't get lost. I've...
