Chinese tools are crap. I was blessed to inherit a large (machine-shop sized) set of circa-1980 tools. With the exception of a few odd “made in Japan” tools they are all US-Made (Craftsman, Snap-On and several long-defunct small makers). I have some even stouter 1940s vintage tools bought at a surplus auction. The 1/2” chuck electric drill in that group weighs 25 lbs and can uproot 3” trees when hooked to a winch! I make it my business to keep all those tools cleaned, lubed and in tip-top condition. A friend of mine who brags of buying all his tools from Harbor Freight is always asking to borrow mine...I wonder why? ;-)

Why would anyone brag about that?!

He wants your pie! His tastes like "..it".
