I just picked up a 4 pice set still made in USA. Any idea who the supplier is of these bits?

I think its a judgement call by whoever answers the call. My friend bought a pair of Snap On vise grips online. When he received them they were defective, the lever would pop out of the crimped area every time you opened them. They sent a new pair and he was able to keep the defective one.

That's a Snap On SHLF80A in the picture just to show how massive that Wright really is!

I bought one not cause I needed it.... But because I "wanted" it. Definitely not fine tooth but each click inspires confidence, solid engagement.

Just got one of these from Zoro. Same ones used at home Depot and Lowes. Wish I would have gotten one of these years ago! http://www.zoro.com/i/G2491291/

I did end up receiving one. Took it to work the next day and instantly disliked it. It flexes, has a small lip, & doesn't do much to hold down the workpiece. I'll stick with a homemade one.

Same here. At this point, I don't anticipate receiving one. Which is fine. It's unfortunate that what started out as a nice offer turned into negative press for them.

Re: Jorgensen 6" bar clamps & DeWalt 7-1/4" saw blades $4.99 at Ace Hardware The ones from Menard appear to be 3706-ld (light duty). The Ace ones are 3706 the medium duty. Then there are the 3706-hd (heavy duty). Look the same but different ratings. 300, 600, & 1000 pound ratings...

Re: Jorgensen 6" bar clamps & DeWalt 7-1/4" saw blades $4.99 at Ace Hardware That's a USA one. It broke clamping a 2x4 to a piece of 3/4" plywood on its first use. The next clamp had no problem. Likely just a casting flaw.

Re: Jorgensen 6" bar clamps & DeWalt 7-1/4" saw blades $4.99 at Ace Hardware I use Jorgensen/pony clamp every day at work. Never had a problem. I'm sure this is just a flaw and it was returned no problem.

I needed a 1/2 to 5/8 adapter last year. Ended up grinding a 1/2 to 3/4 down to make it work.

I would never limit myself to one tool company. I know this won't be the popular answer but with that being said I've found myself liking the unicorn of truck tools... Cornwell. I build furniture by trade but the Cornwell driver will accommodate me whenever I call him.

My Dayton is 10.8 amps and 3450 rpms. It is made in Taiwan though. I really have nothing bad to say about it. I just have it in my head that Baldor is "the" name in electric motors.

exmaxima1, there is no doubt the Dayton has power at 10+ amps. Maybe I'm just being a brand snob with the Mac/Baldor names.

Vantastic, I sure am

Here is my dilemma. I have a 8" Dayton 3/4 hp grinder that I've been using for a while now with no issues. Today I came across this 7" Mac/Baldor 1/2 hp for $100. This thing appears to be built nicer than the Dayton (Heavy casting as opposed to the aluminum on the Dayton). They both run really...

I have a ultrasonic from HF. I originally bought it for cleaning firearm brass and quickly found its useful for many other things. Ive done quite a few small carbs, ratchet internals and pretty much any small hard to clean parts. It's served me well to this point.

Re: Jorgensen 6" bar clamps & DeWalt 7-1/4" saw blades $4.99 at Ace Hardware Gonna pick a couple up tomorrow. A buddy of mine just grabbed a couple and he said they were all wood handles. So they should be made in USA ones? Either way im picking up a couple.

Love mine but really wish they were a little bit longer.
