This pisses me off. I've bought a bunch of their pliers and really like most of them. I for one won't be buying them anymore. Now if I manage to break one they're going to give me a china made replacement. If anyone wants to send them feedback here's their page http://www.irwin.com/irwin/consumer/jhtml/contactUs.jhtml I sent them a letter myself. John |

Maybe Leatherman could buy the patent (or design a better one)?

Maybe Leatherman could buy the patent (or design a better one)? Have you bought a Leatherman tool lately? We have all but dropped them at the Hardware store I work for, they are real cheesedicks when you get a problem with a tool lately, and the margins for resellers are VERY thin. Klein tools are excellent, and we get tools from Germany that are good, mostly nutdrivers and ball drivers (hex). Stanley still makes a few tools in the US but not many. To be competitive with the box stores everyone is going Chinese (or worse, and yes there are worse) tools, we have a great resistance to customers spending the 30% or more for the "pro tool." Our pro customers usually will but even that market is eroding. And be careful talking shit about Japanese tools, they still make some of the best edged tools (saws, chisels, planes) made anywhere in the world, and their prybars are very good also. Also the Scandinavian countries still make a lot of good stuff....also expensive.. |
