Tool talk

[scratch]

Your thumb looks like a big toe...

That thumb does look abnormal. I crushed it with an overloaded handtruck about thirty years ago. My thumb looked like a peeled banana, the nail came off and I was looking at the bone. I left my thumbnail on the shipper's dock, it never did grow back the same.

Black and decker owns them and since buying them they’re similar quality

I've been pretty happy with my black and decker jigsaw, though it doesn't get a lot of use. That's about the only BnD tool I own.

For occasional use those cheaper units are fine.

I haven't bought any B&D tools in years but still have some of it around. Mostly designed for lighter duty home use and works fine for that.

Dewalt is black and Decker now.

I think they have been for quite a while.

Who make the internal parts? Probably the same factories in China, although some manufactures may require higher quality parts for different lines of product.

Most of them have special models with cheaper parts for places like Walmart.

Walmart puts a lot of pressure on manufacturers to cut costs. Quality has to go.
