Re: the PRC strikes again !

Agreed. I got a grinding wheel dresser from MicroMark- worst crude POS India mfg I ever saw. Didn't even work. One touch to the wheel and the rings shattered and flew off. At the same time, the wooden handle just slipped off the end of the tool, which was just a crudely hammered square spike.

Hello group.

I just recieved a 3" cross slide vise (#426-8395) that I ordered from
Enco and was so totally amazed that I just had to post to RCM !!

I've bought alot of tools but until now I had never seen such a
totally useless piece of cr*p as this "alleged" vise (and I'm regular
visitor to Harbor Freight mind you ).

I wouldn't know where to start describing this thing... I guess I can
just say there is not a single fastener, surface or mechanism that
fits, is aligned, tightens or is even remotely finished. The alleged
gibs looks like a random piece of scrap my 4 yearold niece just
hammered in there.

This is not the usual cheap imported Palmgren knock offs you comonly
see at HF, Northern Tool, Grizzly,etc... Those are Kurts compared to
what I received.

I took a chance on this one cause those other ones are too large to
mount
on the small drill press I wanted it for. Oh well.... buyer beware!

cheers,
Art


Sounds EXACTLY like the made-in-India vises I've seen. I've never seen
anything anywhere near that bad out of China.

They are taking usable raw materials and degrading them into crap that
nobody would ever want to buy.
