Such a patriotic American as you patronizing walmart?

Sad.

Damn straight - good stuff at good prices.

Never had one break on me either.

And I'd bet dollars to donuts that the "fine German screwdrivers" are
made in another country other than Germany - probably China.

Swiss Army Knife bladed and featured tools are made by Hyde
Manufacturing and used to be built in Southbridge, MA until Hyde moved
their metal operations to India. :)

I can buy an SAK at Wal-Mart cheaper than anywhere else.

Cheap **** at discount prices. Ask the poor ****ers in Florida how
that sheetrock is working out.

I didn't give a **** where the screwdrivers were made, although I'd
have much preferred they had been made in America. "Precision"
Chinese tools are cheap ****. They're made for hobbyists like you. We
have a professional bench that assembles tens of thousands of parts a
year. They need proper tools.

The real Swiss Army blades are manufactuered by Wenger in Switzerland.
Based on your shopping descretion, I'm sure a knock off works.

You're part of the population that doesn't give a **** if Americans
have jobs. All our manufacturing will end up overseas and we'll have
more poor and uneducated by percentage than India.

Nice going, patriot.

I believe the 'Swiss Army knives/watches/flashlights are made by Victorinox
of Switzerland http://www.victorinox.ch/
As I heard it, the Wenger guy is a brother who competed using the Swiss Army
title.
Someone told me that after an agreement, Wenger would use the 'Swiss
Military' brand name, but looking at their website....this doesn't seem to
be the case. http://www.wengerna.com/
Confusing!


I belive Wenger owns the whole kit and kaboodle. May be wrong.
