And how much would it cost them for CA/EPA permitting to handle the molten fluoroelastomers on site? How much would they have to pay per unit for continued compliance? How much would they have to spend on ridiculous and un-needed monitoring equipment and anti-pollution devices that the state and/or EPA will mandate?
Oh stop....They do all that. From their website..

Flashlight boy from Ontario is a chump for dealing with Communist China. He really needs to remove the made in USA label IMO.

Yup. But they don’t say which are on site and which are contracted out or which are shipped in from overseas.
Many if not most such shops in the US will advertise products they offer that they don’t actually make on site. It’s much like Glock can’t make the metal parts of their handguns in the US - the Tenifer finish they use is not permitted to be applied in the US. Thank you, EPA.
Another illuminating item for you - why don’t you ask around to see how many actual chrome shops are left in LA. And why that number is the way it is.
That's the best one since Judge Lester accused George Zimmerman of "flaunting" the system by being quiet during his bail hearing.
I understand West Coast Gasket does most of their own stuff. It's a big operation doing big biz.
why dont you ask around to see how many actual chrome shops are left in LA.
Chrome shops are nasty places, much of which employ nothing but illegals, I would hope they all moved elsewhere. Like much of what's left of our manufacturing, the greedy employers like their illegal low wage help, which drags down everything around them.
You can tell the quality of these types of businesses immediately, just by looking at and speaking to their employees.
I have too much respect for my wrists to use a baton much, especially since there are many good alternatives, such as tonfa, snap and spring sticks, combat nunchuku, etc.
Though I am reminded of a short story by H.L. Mencken, of an officer who argued that it was not physically possible to hit certain perps on the head, with a baton, with excessive force. Despite his best efforts to do so.
Eventually investigated for a particularly effective clubbing of a perp with an impressively bony skull and bad attitude, though the officer was acquitted of any wrongdoing, he said that changing times had taken away much of the enjoyment to be found in detaining such recalcitrants.
