These are handy

72c20customcamper · 01-10-2024, 02:37 PM

Not new but when Craftsman was one of the best out there

**DeadheadNM** · 01-12-2024, 12:22 AM

New pants. Cheddar poisoning.

**Steeveedee** · 01-12-2024, 12:35 AM

Not sure what "cheddar poisoning" means...is that an autofill issue?

Most likely a Wisconsin thing. Maybe means made in or from WI? I'd like to know, too

Sorry, an obtuse way of saying I’ve been eating too much cheese and need wider pants

72c20customcamper · 01-22-2024, 10:59 AM

Picked up a Dustopper for my Shop Vac pleased to see it was made in the US

**leddzepp** · 01-22-2024, 11:46 AM

Waterway is the only swimming pool filter manufactured in the USA, they also manufacture water filters for Navy submarines. The warranty is twice that of any other brand. Pentair, Hayward, Jandy, etc are all made in China.

**davischevy** · 01-22-2024, 12:49 PM

Hole saw. Global materials.

72c20customcamper · 01-22-2024, 02:29 PM

The Dustopper works great . But for my use I’m going to have to adapt it to a 55gallon poly . Filled up in a few minutes with the planer but no chips on the floor

**Steeveedee** · 01-22-2024, 02:52 PM

^ I like that! I have an Oneida Dust Deputy, which is well over a foot tall. Next time I knock it over and break it, I'll buy one of these, instead.

72c20customcamper · 01-22-2024, 05:54 PM

I looked at that one and the Harbor Freight copy . But I knew I’d end up breaking it knocking it over

**Steeveedee** · 01-22-2024, 06:44 PM

Right? Mine's currently held together with sheet metal screws and baling wire.

Were the sheet metal screws and bailing wire made in the USA?

Nylon strings made in New York City for my classical guitar made in Spain.

Gotta be great strings, there’s a picture of Andrés Segovia on the other side of the package.

**Steeveedee** · 01-23-2024, 12:38 AM

^ Probably not. Guess I'll have to retract my repair claim...

kingsolver72 · 02-07-2024, 09:27 PM

Fender Telecaster and Fender Pro Junior amp(possibly 1st gen). Both made in Corona California.
Fender Stratocaster made 180 miles away in Ensenada Mexico.
The Marshall was made way across the pond in England.

**DeadheadNM** · 02-07-2024, 09:30 PM

Nice. I just read that Mark Knopfler auctioned off his guitars.

kingsolver72 · 02-07-2024, 09:52 PM

I’d like to have a fraction of his talent.

**DeadheadNM** · 02-10-2024, 04:56 PM

plug wires

Made in USA Milton airline coupler. The China hose end would not work, had to go get a Milton hose end so I could use it.

D.B., where did you purchase the Milton airline coupler? I need to replace the ones on my air compressor. I have a 3 way splitter so I can use multiple hoses and air tools at the same time. Hate having to un-couple and re-couple constantly when using several air tools during a garage/shop repair. Have to fiddle with the connections right now to keep them from bleeding air during use.

Fwiw, I’ve had good luck on eBay with some recent Milton purchases also US made.

Ironhorse, I got them from a local family-owned hardware/feed store, see below.

I will have to correct my statement about what I thought the reason the couplers didn't connect to each other. It was due to the style and not USA/China like I thought. Went back and got the right style "T" male coupler. All good now.

**leddzepp** · 02-11-2024, 02:13 PM

My OG Vans, Jeff Spicoli specials circa 1983

. Found them while cleaning out my mom’s garage the other day. They are like new, WAY better quality than what is made now. My daughter is beyond stoked and can’t wait to sport them at school next week

**DeadheadNM** · 02-11-2024, 02:26 PM

That’s awesome! I have an old Vans shoe box I kept from back in the 80s.
