I'm not posting these photos to brag but to help make a point.
And this could be interpreted as "political" so I apologise in advance just in case.
I've done pretty well in life so I can make choices like this. In fact that's one of the main reasons I've worked so hard and I've always done jobs not many people would do on the side for extra money.
My Fluke multi-meter and Starrett calipers. Both made in the USA. Do either of them have Chinese components on the inside? Probably yes but that's unavoidable today.
And the best wire strippers ever made!
Again US made and they were about $75 AUD with additional dies. The Chinese knock offs are about $15.
Does anyone here think I regret buying these tools? -
