Ok, but that's not helpful.
The objective was to learn what to look for.
And specifically, is there any chance that the shiny silver

What to look for? Well Kolbalt is in the
"For for Hobby Usage Now and Then"
catagory.

I prefer Harbor Freight...cause if I bust something..they will give me
a new one.

Not so Home Despot

Chrome plating could cover GOOD STUFF....as seen by SnapOn, Craftsman
(older) etc etc...or it could cover taffy.

Shrug

Its $6. If it breaks..you arent out much
