being a tool guy all my life (not just a tool) I remember the Japanese company 
that had a company in USA Japan.... I think they we're told to cease and 
desist...   BGW

Funny how "China Freight" always uses cutesy names for their stuff: US General, 
Chicago Hydraulics, etc.
My tools go back 45 years, a combination of Craftsman, MAC, Snap On, Proto, and 
other quality brands. And Lincoln welders.
Life's too short to buy cheap tools. Or cheap bikes. Or in the old days, cheap 
beer!
Ya gets what ya pays for.
Cheers, Bill
