Used to have nice tools. Now the only wrenches you can get on amazon are the rejects from harbor freight that are biodegradable

Some of my harbor freight stuff has held up to a fair amount of abuse.

Must have been made on Wednesday.

The nicest hand tools these days are the Kobalt line from Lowes. Sure, made in China, just like Craftsman and now just like Snap-On. Still, they're reasonable priced, durable, and ergonomic.

Don't even get me started on the flat-out GARBAGE that Snap-On is putting out these days. We use them at work where they're purchased by the taxpayers. They break all the time. Since the military is the purchaser, they don't even bother replacing them under warranty. They just dispose of them and get new ones.

I remember Snap-On tools from 30 years ago. The ones they're making today are shameful.
