Van was born in Oregon, raised in Oregon, went to Oregon State University, and last I looked, Oregon has been part of the US for about 150 years. In addition, he served in the US Air Force. Pretty much American, but like many Americans, he is of European ancestry.

Default MAJOR advantage of HF tool......
They do not come with the automatic disappear feature common to really good hand tools.

In my experience, Snap Ons and the good German stuff from Griots have the shortest lifespan in the possesion of any one owner before they "grow legs".

Similar phenomonon with motorcycle tie downs--cheap Walmart issue never get lost---good Ancras or such.....GONE in a FLASH!!!!!!

Default Harbor Freight bench grinder
Zman,
I forgot earlier to mention that my HF 6" bench grinder has been working fine for the past 8 years. I removed all the guards and grinding stones from it. I purchased two 6" ScotchBrite discs from Avery Tools (medium and fine). I've worn one of each disc out in that time. The bench grinder works great.
