You started this thread with a racial insult.- "Tools built by people of Chinese extraction are poorly build". That's not true. Perhaps you should change the title of the thread to "Puerto Ricans BUY poor tools". That's the problem here, you bought lousy tools. Rich |

At $100 a pop for the smallest set of safety wire pliers? I don't think so. I am not interested in subsidizing airshow display trailers and parties, performer sponsorships, etc. What I want is realiable tools at reasonable prices. I feel your pain. 30 years ago, there was middle grades of tools that were reasonably priced and would last a lifetime. The middle ground seems to have disappeared. I'm still ok with the most expensive grade of Craftsman tools. They are not as good as they used to be, but are still better than most of the crap in hardware stores. As to the safety wire pliers, I'd expect to pay $100 for a quality pair. They are a low volume item and must be assembled from several parts. Even a decent pair of vicegrips cost $20 these days and they probably turn them out in the 100's of thousands. Keep an eye on military surplus sales. You might find the one you used in the Marines (: I'd certainly like to have the one that was in my toolbox in the Army. |

Not a racial insult, when it is true that the nation of China has low quality steel, which they do. -- Jim in NC |
