I hate them coil spring compressers. They always slip off and never really fit on the spring right.

Black and Decker Versapak tools, when using the silver Ni-Cd batteries. They self-discharge so fast it's not funny. The Gold Versapak NimH batteries are OK.

For some time it has been assumed that American made hand tools are somehow "inferior".

On the contrary, I submit that, right now, American made hand tools are - for the most part - the best in the world.

Don't put your weight on anything marked "Great Neck" purchased at a Kmart...

ANY chainsaw where the clutch is inboard of the chain. (Crapsman specifically in my case) Any limbing work brings a twig up into the housing and pops the chain right off the end of the sproket.

Almost any tool from a Japanese motorcycle tool kit....must have had the kitchen staff at the foundry that day, what with the extra butter in the alloy.
