Lowes Kobalt ratchets really, realy ****

[Al Borland]

I've had a few of the Taiwan 72 tooth ratchets for a few years. They are fine.
They made a 72 tooth China ratchet that was a waste of metal, makes a craftsman RP look like Snap-On.
Some of the 90 tooth rats are Taiwan, some are China. The China 90 tooth ones also ****.

Problem isn't China, it's the standard (or lack thereof) that Lowes holds them to.
Maybe the bobbleheads at Lowes will figure out this problem, maybe not.

How many gallons of quality does one expect for that price? emmm, maybe that is the paint.

I'm thinking your boss is responsible for checking your work at some point...

If Lowers doesn't check what is coming in, or accepts defective product on a regular basis, the Chinese factory will not work to improve their product

Lowes: please provide us with x product for x money.

China : lol, lets give crappy z product, collect x money.

Consumer: this is ****, stupid lowes. China is faultless.

Whatever. I dont care, we dont even have lowes here. Back to topic

They'll make things as good as you're willing to pay for, and as ****** as you ask for/let them get away with.

Hey, I hear you guys don't have pennies up there anymore either! What's up with that?!?!



Maybe Lowes should start selling plastic ratchets. I'd bet they'd work just as good.
