Herring is still panhandling?

Look up asshole in a good dictionary, and you'll find Herring's photo.

Which dictionary might that be? I have a good one, and found no such
photo.
Please, enlighten us.

The OED.

I'll have to check that one. I have the Merriam-Webster Dictionary here.

The condensed version requires a magnifying glass and costs $400.

Must be a pretty good magnifying glass if it costs 400 bucks.

Yes, but did you spend 90 bucks on gas driving around to find them?
And most of all, are they trendy?

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.

What amazes me is that there's a good bet the steel used in the
chinese screwdrivers are of as good or better quality than the german
made ones! Just because an item is expensive doesn't make it good.
I've actually been to the plant in S.C. where Craftman cordless tools
were being made. When it comes time to put the guts into the case, the
line divides in two. Why? Because one side gets Craftman cases, the
other, Ryobi! Same EXACT tools otherwise! SO, now I go to Home Depot
and buy Ryobi cordless tools. They work great. Almost as good as if
I'd bought Craftman for twice as much!

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!

You see what I mean? You don't care about jobs, you don't care about
tools - you want to make potty mouthed political points - damn man,
I'm a former Marine and you can ask anybody you want - I never, well
so seldom it almost counts as never, swear to make a point.

And for the record - Wenger hasn't actually stamped or produced their
own blades since the late '70s when the work was contracted out to
Rusell Harrington a subsidiary of Hyde Manufacturing - Southbridge,
MA.

Let me ask you - do you use Wiha tools? Probably because the Felo
tools are crappy.

Um..the Wiha metal working is done in Vietnam.

Nice going, patriot.

This coming from somebody who buys fine GERMAN screwdrivers.

Nice going, patriot.

Nope - metal stamping for the tools is done by Hyde Manufacuring.

Has been for years.

Used to be an outlet store at the Russel Harrington plant in
Southbridge - that's where I got my SAK knives - cheap too - 75% off
because the head engineer at the time is a good friend of mine.
