I have also steered away from them , not because it's China, although I should. I have nothing against Chinese tools. I have a strong dislike of companies buying their stuff in China and charging Made in USA prices for it.
One like is just not enough
lol, lefty loosey. have you been chatting with my wife?
She's very smart in so many ways, but as un-technical as you can get. I come in from my morning exercise and am always asked "what's it like out?" The other day I responded its about 13 degrees. She says "you're always giving me numbers, that doesn't help, I'm a hot or cold kind of girl!"

It should also be noted that these extreme heat cycles often predate what is known as the ice age, and if we look back in history, these can last a really long time.Come home really late one Friday night/ Saturday morning and you'll find the hot cycle.....

What? There is a cold setting? I'll have to look for that setting. LOL!
Mine runs HOT 24/7. Either pissed off or horny. She is Italian. They don't come with an ice mode that I know of. Lots and lots of controls, none are labelled, but they should all be labelled hotter than whatever level of hot it is right now.
I didn't really like the fit of those hex drivers I had and I didn't like them separated from my socket tools, so I ordered these and they came in yesterday.
They fit my Lisle Tap Drivers MUCH better! I also got the carbide center drill set I ordered in the same shipment. Now I can make a special set of hex drivers for my tap drivers and keep them all with my taps in that drawer that @jorogi doesn't like......

Poured this morning so no planting for a while. Busy doing honey do's today and a few me jobs too! Here is a photo of the finished 3/8 hex driver. Easy peasy. Thanks to @thestelster for pointing out that carbide center drills exist.
Very happy so I did the 1/4" & 1/2" drivers too. Everything is put away in my tap tools drawer.

Lots of buttons and none of them labeled seems like the norm. But he we are guys (apologies to any female members) and even if they were labeled, reading instructions is anathema

Hot tongue and cold shoulder, huh?Come home really late one Friday night/ Saturday morning and you'll find the hot cycle..... Careful, that switch has a tendency to stick.....
There is a technique for that.
I used to turn off the engine half down the street, silent coast into the drive, quiet as a mouse open the door and tiptoe up the stairs. She always heard me, would wake up and I'd catch an ear full.
Now, I screech to stop in driveway, slam the door, stomp up the stairs, slap her on the ass and say "how about a _________ (keeping it somewhat family oriented lol). She's always sound asleep.

You guys are worse than the H-M bunch at making me buy stuff – I got my #174 on Amazon for $30 four years ago (now they don't list the price as no one is selling at a reasonable cost; Starrett List is $48.50, and the "Other Sellers" on Amazon all want ~$70). eBay's not much better, but I found a similar, slightly smaller (!) version (they accepted my offer of $27):
I also found a couple of others in my Threading Tools box:
Veteran Tools | Starrett 174 | Unknown Clone | General Tools Clone
I can only say that I learned the craft of spending other's money on HM and honed it here

Since I mentioned my "Threading Tools" box, I got anal again, moved the contents into a larger Erally Useful Box® so that I could more easily see what I have:
If you are so Anal, what is that set of Punches doing in there?
It's pretty bad when the Anal guys get diarrhea. Shyst gets everywhere when that happens.
