They are an unscrupulous ripoff nowadays as far as I'm concerned. Literally everything I buy is used, and usually made in USA except for toilet paper (bog roll) and food. (Those I buy new).The reason why I think the new ways are a ripoff is because they treat my money as if it were disposable, or worthless. As if I should buy a new object as often as possible and not try to repair an old model.
My money is not disposable or worthless because it takes time to make money -- and you can't get that time back once it is spent. And yet the Masters of the Universe who direct these companies would have you believe that *their* time is worth many millions per year. I refuse to deal with such or even acknowledge them.
* -- I take that back -- I DO have some very nice Swiss indicators, and some Swiss files, and some German hand tools. All of which cost well over a weeks pay. And worth every penny.
