Horror story: One time while measuring, I let go of the pole in the tank for a few seconds to lift my head to tell a customer I'd be right with him, and when I turned back around to get back to measuring, the pole had moved and pierced right through my eye! Unfortunately, this predated the Motherfucker! thread.
It healed up fine, but I stuck to selling snacks, refreshments, and bait, and cleaning campers' catches after that.0 -

Was in a bigger construction chain store out on the island and the place was bare. They are having a hard time getting things to stock.
Their Dewalt section had almost nothing but I can still acquire Hilti tools and epoxy if I need.
Anyone else seeing tools disappear from the shelves?0 -

Dewalt is China whereas Hilti is a few countries.From the Google machine. I'm actually surprised as I would have thought most or all would have also been assembled in China? China is currently in covid lockdown so that has to be having an impact on supply chains. Hilti seems to have the bulk of their manufacturing business in Europe. Again, surprising.
No, not all DeWalt tools are made in the USA. However, they have a select line of products that are assembled in the USA from international materials. These American assembled tools are made across 7 different U.S. facilities, listed below.
- Charlotte, NC
- Cheraw, SC
- Greenfield, IN
- Hampstead, MD
- Jackson, TN
- New Britain, CT
- Shelbyville, KY
The international materials they use come from a variety of locations, including: Brazil, the United Kingdom, Italy, the Czech Republic, Mexico, China, and some parts from the U.S.

There are more things I am noticing that aren't around. I know you mentioned this for a while Nick, about stocking things.0 -

Dewalt for the most part I thought had "repair" centers in the US, did not know they assembled things here. Interesting.0 -

How did we get to this point of having a baby formula shortage? I feel for parents scrambling around dealing with this problem.0

I also find it hard to believe that we can't make formula on a quick production pace to catch up. We have plenty of wipes and hand disinfectant now to last the next pandemic so let's make some formula now.0 -
