Just got an impact driver from Harbor Freight.
The thing stinks. I mean, really stinks.

Is that the usual for Chinese HF tools?

Hi Stormin,

It is a cutting oil they use in manufacturing. It
smells like cat pee. It is really disgusting.
Never comes out.

I buy German, Japanese, or American tools.

Do you have any relatives you don't like you can
give it to?

Ah, maybe that's it. I've been considering leaving the
plastic carrying box open outdoors for a while.

I have some Xcelite's that are somewhat odoriferous even though I've had
them 45 years...so don't expect that smell to go away. The ones I have,
the smell is somewhat pleasant so it's no big deal.


If you don't like the ones you have , send them to me and I'll give them
to my cats.

Are those small screw drivers in a plastic
case?

I have a 18 compartment box for small parts
(clear plastic) that has smelled like vomit
for as long as I've had it.

Not screw drivers, but nut drivers...
I guess after 45 years I've grown used to it

I also noticed that. They never seem to stop out-gassing. I wonder if I
should breathe in to help my longevity or whether it's a part of why I am
the way I am...

As a member of the male gender, I'm obligated
to zing you, now. "Well, that explains a lot!"
