About 20 years ago, I was working backstage on a Broadway show that was playing in my town. One of the road guys tossed away a Husky 1/2'' Ratchet. I said, ''If you go down to Home Depot, they'll replace it under warranty for free.''
''I don't have time,'' he said.
So I took it down to the Depot a week later, and got it replaced. Free and no questions, no hassle.
Then I tried using it to assemble a little red shelf/cart for my shop. It broke before I was half done. Dealing with 1/4-20 boltsets or 5/16 fasteners did it in. I brought it back -- that one broke. I brought it back again, and it's still in the wrapping as a curio.
Total Asiatic Crap.
