"From my experience, the ChiComm apes still haven’t discovered how to a anneal a bolt. The ChiComm manufacturing tolerance on sockets is plus or minus a quarter-inch. Don’t get me started on their crappy socket wrenches that fall apart. And don’t dare ask me about their cheap-ass chop saws unless you want to hear me bitch for two hours. Fourty-five degree angle cuts my butt."

Been buying stuff at Harbor Freight?

“Been buying stuff at Harbor Freight? “

LOL! Good comeback.

Actually, it goes beyond Harbor Freight and Wal-Mart.

I prowl flea markets markets, looking for 1950s American-made steel bolts and screws. It gets frustrating as hell torquing down a bolt on a 400 hp motor and the bloody head of a ChiComm bolt snaps off. Grrrr!

I appreciate your measured humor.
