Stan, Have seen it all before. An example I saw was Eastern European angle grinders. Identical product from the outside, except brand name. One was twice the price of the other. One had durable innards, the other had wear-out-fast-throw-away-after-use internal components. No way of telling from a cursory glance. You gets what you pay for, I"m afraid, and sometimes not even that! There are so many cheap tool suppliers out there, all making a buck. Why? Because the "stupid" public think they are saving money by buying them. People on this board, I am sure, realise that a cheap spanner is a waste of money. Value for money is one thing, cheap AND low quality is certainly not value for money. I could not justify the prices for expensive Britool socket sets, but have bought second hand, rather than buying cheaper new stuff. I learned that a long time ago. Those farmers (farm closing auction sales I bought from) knew the worth of buying good quality. Goes on world over, so just have to use experience to "buy good, buy once". Like you said "should have known better". At least it was only a few dollars and you know not to rely on it for your safety. Regards, RAB
