Just got banned from Garage Journal

Post by pfarber »

Tried to log in to the forums at GarageJournal.com and saw my two week ban.

'Made in the USA' bigots (that was my post). They cry like babies because their low end tools (Craftsman) are made in China.

So I asked in a post, please show me one technical reason or failed specification (every fastener on the planet is built to a specification. So are hand tools) that isn't a result of mass production (ie make 1MM parts, x% will be bad, where x < some small number). Of course they couldn't. So I called them bigots and idiots and if made in the USA means to much then SnapOn and Matco would *never* have a warranty claim or repair a tool.

I don't think I'll be going back.. the Made in the USA nonsense is really bad.
I got a Mountain Cur and a ~~pitbull~~ big loveable cuddle puppy and a Brown Husky aka 'Golden Dragon'
