This is gonna be really xenophbic sounding, so you berkley types hit +++ now Is it me, or are all taiwanese/chinese/etc tools CRAP! (if its not scottish...) I destroyed all three of the chinese body hammers I bought last weekend. The sad things was, one of them was the only one I'd found with this particular style of head... Now I wonder if I'll break the dollies. I didn't think I could, but after I shattered (thats right, shattered) one of the hamme heads I'm not so sure. This is not my first experience with such implements of self destruction. I see some tools in the stores and wonder what they were thinking when the designed them. Sheesh! I have never had a problem with an american tool, or german, for that matter. reasonable success with a japanese ratchet, until I put a 4 1/2' cheater pipe on it... (D'oh!) My Astro (Japanese, I think) paint gun is pretty good. Anyone else feel the same way? It seems the market it flooded with this crap! Thom -- > My BBS is baroque now.
