>Buy American -- Ok...Buy German since I adulated the virtues of the FeinMultiTool (probably made in China anyway). Soap Box: Let's go for quality first and not just price. There are enough disposable items. I hate it when a tool fails mid-job. I'll pay top dollar for a quality tool which will last a lifetime. Point in case: I am still using my father's electric drills which he purchased in the 50's or 60's's. Metal cased and still strong. As well as the long out of production 1/2" rachet wrench. I don't want to buy 'throw-away tools'. i want tools that last. My father was a pressman. That's a person who ran a printing press. I use his tools. The absolute best is the type cleaning brush. The perfect hammer brush. (long cleaned of printing inks). 3" x 4" dense/dense brass bristle brush. Someone should buy this company before they fade into obscurity if they already haven't. Second best of his tools is the knife that cleaned the lead squeeze-out between letters on the Ludlow machine, a short, sharp, sturdy blade. I use a Ludlow trimming station as my buffer station now. So much for letter-press, Lithograph and digital imaging put another industry to rest. -- Regards, Jon Page -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
