    That's what the other 7 are. Going to pull them off and I'll buy 6 more tires after we are done since it's got 24.5s and throw them on my trailer.

    Still none from mine either.

    I never was a tool snob as long as it was decent enough quality. Name never really mattered. Most everything I have is craftsman that's as old as I am and still functions just fine.

    I once got to spend the weekend in Listowel ON because of some Canadian holiday that no one was aware of. I was lucky enough to get the last hotel room in town.

    Yeah, the older craftsman stuff is great. I have some that is twice my age. That's when America made quality stuff. Same with the old black and decker power tools. They used to be top notch. The problem these days is, folks want quantity over quality! It's hard to find anything of quality these days, no matter the price or willingness to pay.

    The Harbor Freight stuff nowadays is actually pretty decent.There are some crappy stuff in there but it’s usually the really cheap stuff but you can tell right away by just looking at it if it’s crappy.I wouldn’t buy their power tools though

    Had my first tarped load today and before I could even tighten my straps the shipper comes out and says to tarp the load right away because the forecast was showing rain at 3pm and it was 2:45.So there I was scrambling to get the two tarps on and the corners secured.Didn’t even finish securing the corners on the tarp when it started to pour down.Tarp job looks like crap but I’ll have to do better next time and hopefully I don’t get rain the next time.

    I bought 3 of their swivel head ratchets. I was pretty impressed actually. I left my snap-on swivel head on the bumper of my trailer. By the time I realized it....it was too late. Suck! No...their power tools I imagine suck. However, Milwaukee, which is prolly the best....is made in China. Not all Chinese stuff is junk. However, you can't tell me that one impact is $50 and the Milwaukee is $350....... no way there is $300 worth of material and labor difference in the Milwaukee. Just paying for a name, because they can charge it and folks will buy it.

    The other day, I saw a 4x4 truck rocking a big beefy winch bumper and winch that said JCW. When I was a teen trying to buy 4x4 accessories, JC Whitney sold cheap crappy flea market grade products. How things have changed.

    Kids today will never know the feeling of mailing in a month's pay based solely on a black & white artist rendition and an exaggerated product description. Ordering from 4 States website comes close though lol.

    Well you know the CIA/ninja/special forces/assassin truck driver has to carry a burner phone. Otherwise their handler can't reach them. ;)
