Yeah, I got my first Craftsman 3/8 ratchet set for Christmas 55 years ago. Worked on everything from lawnmowers and go carts to trucks and a dozen cars at least in between and still working. Never had to replace any of the set. It's a damn shame the government can't figure it out... Value added manufacturing is the true source of all wealth. Example - Man "A" mines iron ore, employs hundreds of people to refine it (adds value) and all those people pay income taxes Man "B" makes the iron ore into steel, employs hundreds of people (adding value) and all those people pay income taxes Man "C" draws the steel into wire coils, employs hundreds of people (adding value) and all those people pay income taxes Man "D" forms the wire into bolts, employs hundreds of people (adding value) and all those people pay income taxes Man "E" assembles bolts and steel sheet and a 1000 other similarly manufactured items into farm tractors (or airplanes, or trucks, or vacuum cleaners) and a similar story for 1000's of manufactured products. And all those workers employ doctors and dentists and plumbers, and accountants, etc. But when you tax the living shat out of the employers you can finally, eventually, kill the whole damn thing. Not to mention the non-enforcement of our foreign trade agreements. Sorry to bloviate. My two cents.
