  We're talking $19 for the 3/4 breaker bar that I need to take of the axle
nuts on VWs, only.

   Yes, if I had extra money and wanted to mess with Craig's list and
shipping I would much rather have that one ....but I already have all the
sockets I want and if I were spending money on tools, I need a new laser
level. my carbide saw blades are wearing out and they are all dull, I'd love
another fancy set of chisels (I love good chisels).  I could also fix the
brake booster on my diesel Ford truck and buy a new battery for my
motorcycle and sell that....Lots of things to spend money on other than 3/4"
breaker bars...which is why I probably never bought one until now.....

   I don't think my little foray into supporting an Off Shore vendor to the
tune of $20...that probably won't be the final ruin the US manufacturing
industry...Besides, I can't afford American tools any more...No job because
my trade has been outsourced..or downsized..or sumpin...
