“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.

I spend half a day looking for US made drill bits. Finally found them, didn’t cost much more than name brand made in china to “exacting standards”. Never had a drill bit bend until “made to exacting standards” in China came along.

Went to Harbor Tools today and just could not buy anything. Mostly just shiny junk.
