David, I've noticed that too, for example an older US made datamaster case lasted me for years, so I ordered another one. The obviously cheaper, (chinese made?) replacement lasted a year before the handle broke. Other tools have that cheap look as well. I suppose the supply houses are sourcing overseas to keep prices lower and profits higher and the quality suffers. Bob. ************************************** Get a sneak peak of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
