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! |

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.

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! 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. |
