1970 bought a used Ge fridge 50.00, still working at the cabin.
I have a Gates Green stripe belt on my garden tractor that's been on it for over 20 years now....it was 50 bucks and I got it for cost back then. Did they go to hell in a handbag in the last 20 years?Gates belts. I had three of them blow apart on my lawnmower, lucky to get 90 minutes out of them. Replaced with a Husquvarna kevlar belt and no problems for the past couple of years.
Good question? There was a time back when that Gates was the good stuff, easily better quality thanI have a Gates Green stripe belt on my garden tractor that's been on it for over 20 years now....it was 50 bucks and I got it for cost back then. Did they go to hell in a handbag in the last 20 years?
I beg to differ.Samsung appliances! There will never be another Samsung appliance in my house.
And won't buy/have again.
For me it's General tires. Used to be GE appliances but think they are better now? From what I'm hearing from friends and relatives, Samsung appliances suck and don't plan on having any of that.
New MSD is really bad!ANYTHING MSD
Yep, which is why the Frigidaire/White/Westinghouse/Maytagandwhateverothermerged brand stuff is gone from myHome appliances: When the service man comes to take a look and then tells you it's hopeless, ask him what brand to replace it with. These guys know their stuff. No salesman shine or bullony added.
Exactly! I had (and stupidly maybe did t take it off the Dakota when I sold it. It was the one and only box that lasted while every other delish t has failed and FAILED with excellence! Not one product has made 30 days.New MSD is really bad!
Interstate buys their batteries from clarios and johnson controls mainly.Interstate - junk
Their 72 tooth ratchet is guaranteed for life, at less than $20.00. For the average guy working on his car it would probably last a life time. I don't own one, but you can bet if I needs to replace my over priced name brand, I'm taking my happy *** there to get one. I have many friends in the business, they play the game of odds. Look in the back of a snap on truck, it's full of broken tools taken in for replacement.How are the HF tools holding up? I'm pretty well tooled up with Craftsman (mostly from the 70's), Proto (gifts), and Snap-on. Lot of the Snap-on stuff came from estate sales etc and were too cheap to pass on so haven't needed to buy anything in years but do have a aluminum jack from HF. Had two Lincolns but one needed rebuilding after years of service and even bought a seal kit and it just sat around so I sent it on it's way. The other one still works but have to put some weight on the saddle (foot) to get it started....
I dunno - I still use their distributor cap and rotor for the RB Chrysler; they're still that heavy bakeliteI've seen a few brand names I've grown to love and trust. However, when I read the title, the first thing that came to my mind hasn't yet shown up here...
Accel ignition products -- any and all of them!
