That is pretty hilarious. I liked....

"<i>Why are you restricting shipping to USA only? I would think you should be excited about the possibility of sending it to Iran, or hell or france or something.
Just wondering.</i>

Yet another good idea. I will ship free to France as long as they surrender. It doesn't matter who they surrender to, it could be Australia, Bruce Willis, or even McDonalds. But if they surrender before this auction ends free shipping to France!"

63,000 hits and going strong.

We used to sell these tools at my workplace. This was back in the 80's. There were fairly good quality tools and then they changed their line to fit into the Home Depo's plan and everything turned into cheap junk not worth what it was selling for and made to last until the warranty was up. This way , you go back and spend more money buying even more junk!

<i>"I am an engineer by trade and I feel sorry for the engineer that was responsible for this marvel of science."</i>

Me too. When I buy stuff that turns out to be crap or try to assemble stuff that just won't go together, I always wonder just what in the world that dumba$$ engineer was thinking!!! :mad:

That dumba$$ engineer was probably cursing under his breath at the VP of Sales & Marketing that told him how low the material and labor cost for producing the item must be for them to make their profit. Instead of high tolerance machining, you get sheet metal stamping and die cuts. Etc, etc, etc...
