We all know about the Harbor Freight stink, of Cosmoline and cheap
rubber and other suchlike. Well I had a rather different experience
today. My old Stanley ratchet (not Yankee) screwdriver walked off and I
needed to replace it. I was in Home Depot anyway and looked at the
tools and there was a Husky that looked the same except for a rubber
handle, so went with that rather than drive around hunting for a
Stanley. Got home, opened it up, and was much surprised to find that it
smelled of Hoppes #9. Why they were using nitro powder solvent on a
screwdriver I have no idea but it certainly makes a better impression
than the 3 buck HF toggle clamps I picked up a couple of days ago.
