The despicable spammer has reminded me of something that I've been
wondering about. 30 or so years ago, Draper tools were the bottom
of the barrel. Companies like Gedore, Bedford, Kamasa, Record,
Marples and even goverment surplus handtools were of higher
quality than Draper. Nowadays there seem to be several levels below
Draper. Does this mean that Draper has improved - maybe no longer
bashed out of poor quality steel by indifferent workers in the third
world? Or are there just a lot of even worse monkey metal tools
out there?


I was under the impression that Draper was simply a "brand" these days.
They badge other peoples stuff. Hence quality is very variable.
