7. Way back when Walmart first came to town

I warned people not to shop there. I told them it was just cheap shit from China. I told them it would put the local mom and pop shops out of business.

I worked with a lot of tools in my job and I used tools that were made in America. I used a lot of allen head socket wrenches so I bought Sears Craftsman because when I wore them out Sears replaced them free of charge. I had to laugh what Sears did to wrenches though. I was looking for a 6 inch Crescent wrench and looked at one in Sears. It wasn't a Craftsman and they put the bar code over top of the Made in China writing.

My wrench set was Proto and my pliers were Channellock and my work boots were Red Wing.

You get what you pay for at Walmart.
