Heat getting to you guys this afternoon?




Based in Taiwan, Gong Fong Tools has been manufacturing tools and accessories since 1980. In fact, over the past 30 years we've completed orders for many of the most recognized tool brands in the US and Germany.

Big buyers like these know that our NSF-registered ISO 9001:2000-certified production facilities will keep defect rates below 0.1 percent - a rate among the lowest in the industry.

A lifetime manufacturer's warranty on all the ANSI/ASTM-certified tools we produce further increases their confidence in our production abilities.

I love the cork handle!

From the OP's perspective, yes. However there are around 23 million people who would consider it an export.

Should work OK for stirring a drink or a good laugh.. There is no way I could seriously use something with a name like that as a screwdriver..

Ditto. Actually, it looks pretty nice. If it had a hex bolster, I'd put it with my top shelf tools.

We've been producing and using 'King ****' tools for years over here, so that one's quite subtle.

I think that's a composite (Plastic) handle, just cork color.... and probably better made than recent Craftsman WF USA.

Have we really not got past the idea that good tools come from many places?

 

[oldldh]

Foreign Made???

HMMM???

I'm in...

With...

A strong...

MAYBE!!!

I wonder how many of those Jori has to get gone.

 

[ARFLY]

I'll go out on a limb also and say foreign.

From similar stuff I've seen before, it is real cork particles embedded in a clear hard rubber.

Topping the Craftsman WF USA wouldn't be too much of a monumental task. They are made to sell for a low cost.

Well, it's better than Kong Dong.

 

[Gear Wolf]

HAHAHAHA!!! Should be Long Dong

save up 30$ and get you one of these

 

[Leoruiz]

Made in Spain ?

 

[BDT/NWMN]

Thinking I will buy one of those Gong Fong so I can mix up a screwdriver..

Don't know if I would want any King **** tools... If they got stolen or borrowed without my consent, that would make me Dickless

Don't know about the quality of steel, but holding it in my hand, it feels pretty good. I actually like the handle. It does look to be some kind of plastic/cork composite. Kinda makes me wish I had more than the one I found up in the warehouse.

There is something nice about seeing a Taiwanese made screwdriver with a Taiwanese name, instead of rebranding it as something else.
