Pocket tool is JUNK
on: March 07, 2015, 04:17:26 AM
I bought one of the pocket tools recently in the Philippines where I live.  It stated that it is built to USA standards but is made in China.  I used it twice and the rivets fell out of it rendering the tool useless.  This is the worst piece of junk tool I have EVER seen.  It's an insult to the USA tool industry to have the USA even mentioned on it and is nothing more than a ruse to get you to buy this cheap junk.
AVOID THESE TOOLS AT ALL COSTS!   THEY'RE JUNK!!!!

Maybe Higgs or Eyecandy can answer that kind of question.

Me? Rock, country, or oldies dude. Trying to pick up my Jimmy Buffett tickets for August.

And if it was Dime this would be a success story :D
