Why is it that tool kits (drill bit sets, screwdriver sets, etc.) made
in
the US never include Robinson bits? They are far superior to Phillips
or
slot drivers. Just curious.




Strange, I find them all over, not at the home centers, but at places
that
sell real tools and cater to professionals.

Most HO's do not need overpriced 'real' tools. ie: My black and decker
jigsaw and router are over 25 years old and still run like new.

25 years ago Black & Decker were real tools. Buy one today and get back to
me in 2030 and let me know how that Chinese crap is holding up.

(BTW I bet your old B&D's will still be humming along.


I have an old B&D circular saw. It is all silver on the outside, but
believe it is aluminum rather than silver. I need to research on how old it
is. I found it in a big rolling wooden box with lots of other old
woodworking equipment. It still runs, and I believe it is at least 25 years
old.
