Do I hear crickets?

Anybody running a Scat crank? Procomp anything? A generic engine rebuild kit? New wheels that aren’t billet? What brand are your tires?


Scat??????? What about Eagle.............................................




That is partially true. People are cheapazz idiots that don't care about what happens to their neighbors. "If I can save a buck TS on them". But who placed the bait in front of them? American business. China did not steal anything. We GAVE it away. Remember when you were a kid? Made in Japan was a joke. Then what happened? Cars, toys, electronics, everything went there. And when they got expensive China was next. Someone else will follow, Korea, maybe Africa. I wonder what will happen when they run out of cheapshit labor? Maybe by then WE will be cheapshit labor.


American business.........nope wasnt them either they cant just move out to another country and import things..........

Look back to the years 1993-2001 and see who sold us out.


Now get ready for the post to get locked up

Hand tools are one thing. I would never trust a jack or cherry picker etc from them. I bought a cherry picker from NAPA. It was maybe 50 more but there is a definite build quality difference.

HF 2 ton engine lift is one of the best I ever used

And I do own a Made in USA one as well for about 35 years

And all my jacks have been HF since forever, well worth the money.

I broke down in a parking lot right next to a Walmart over the summer. Starter went bad. I went inside and bought one of those Stanley tool kits to fix it, and walked across the road to an Autozone and bought a starter and changed it in the parking lot. I still have the Stanley tool set and I kinda like it :LOL:

I used to have a big BlueBird cherry picker that I got from a buddy of mine cheap. It actually had a hitch coupler on it so you could tow it with a 2" ball. It was a pain in the *ss to store so I sold it and bought a folding HF one. Some stuff about it is chintzy but for as often as I use it, it works fine.

I have one also. Folds up nice when I’m done using it. And I guess I saved at least $50.

Good for Stanley. I don’t own many of their tools, but they do push to manufacture in the US. At least more than other brands.
F*ck Wal-Mart.
