Great to see! I was thinking about this thread when on the Harbor Freight thread recently. I don't guess you got that compressor there.

We get our compressors from JD Dickinson Compressors In Springfield, MO. They only do compressors and they do it well. They ain't cheap but they are good.

I don't see a shop compressor as the tool to go cheap on.

Hey, what's that HVAC control panel out of? I'm having to fix mine on my '95 Suburban. One year-only part.

A lot of things are made here in California.

Rules for instance. They make a lot of them but the quality isn't the best. And no refunds.

Cambro still makes nearly all (but not all) products in CA and NC - do you need a new pitcher for beer maybe :)

I agree. The quality is terrible.

That must be why I’ve been breaking them my whole life.

That control panel is out of a mid nineties to early 2,000's Kodiak.

I just bought a new Wooster brand paint brush, made in Wooster, Ohio using some foreign sourced materials. Must have China bristles :rolleyes:

I've used Wooster brushes for years. This is the third one of these little buggers I've bought and I keep my brushes a long time. They don't cost much more than the cheaper alternative. For me it's either use a good brush including taking proper care of it or use a throw away.

I need a new DeWalt 18v charger. It will have to be a non-DeWalt copy. There are several on Ebay and they all show American flags with some version of "USA Shipper", "US Seller", etc. Warms my heart knowing I'll be buying local
