I agree. And also, the wastefulness of repairing a tool these days.
You almost have to toss it out compared to fixing, or buying a new one.
They are almost as much to fix or repair with parts, as they are to buy a
new one.
That is if you can even get the parts.
Yes, the threads, and pad, and even steel, is of high quality, and the size
works.

You have to be dealing with some pretty spendy tools before they are worth
fixing. That is economics and is due to those tools being relatively cheap
compared to what they used to be.


One of the problems is the consumer. Many people think that Home
Depot has everything made and everything you will ever need at a very
low price. They have never been to a real tool store that carries the
better brands
