Crap Chinese Tool Gave Me Flag of France

Tool broke, hand punched 2X4 stud.  Happened a few weeks ago but I have a nice flag blood blister to remind me.

Pop it with a hot needle and you'll have a Texas flag.

Owch!!!  I figured it would be the Chinese flag....

My thumb saw red then the stars.

 I think I saw a little beetle in the garden that looked like that. Draw some legs on it.

That could be the "rocky mountain tick".  Those little bastards can wreak havoc on your immune system. Mowing yards I find about one a month crawling into my hair.  My smart arse Dad gave me a Hartz collar a few years ago but it's actually pretty serious so LOOK & FEEL when you're under low limbs.

I seem to recall a rant emanating from NS last year - something about don't buy cheap Chinese tools.  Words come back to haunt?  Janet probably has to pay good $ to get nails done like that.

Yup... I was a fool.   I figured they couldn't screw up something so simple but they did.  The wires in the band did not reach the end where it secured.  It broke where they ended.

Now I have a made in USA strap wrench that works great.

China and USA both bad?  Can we get Made in Canada?  Where do we turn?  Oh god, the path down is getting so steep...

Edit - wait a minute.  I thought Canada was frontier, where people made their own tools?  Fire up that forge!

"Forged in Fire" is the worst television show I've wasted 5 minutes on.  Please Canadians do not start forging anything other than your wives names.

My front brake caliper ate this one today.
