Reading through all these postings on one go, it seems most are in agreeance that modern tools are not a pinch on the tools of yesterday. Easy-outs, vice grips, etc...., will leave you disappointed more often than not. Go to every swap meet that is practical to attend. Buy ancient tools that have stood the test of time, and use those. The modern versions appear to be made of cheese when compared with stuff from the 1950s and backwards. China has a lot to answer for!

Yes, but in a decade or two they will own us. They are quickly buying all the raw resources and energy,already have the majority of the manufacturing capability, and by what I have read, even any gold assets that come available. We are living in a time where things are often cheaper than they were 20 or 40 years ago. We'll pay for that.
