And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.

One of the few companies that did not trade that old American virtue of being the best that man can make for the Chinesium way of making money . I've got 30 or 40 different Channel Lock tools around here . Some from my Grandpa probably close to 75 years old .
I think they made their name on a tool that was called "water pump pliers". No one calls them that anymore, at least I haven't heard it for 50 years. Most people, even mechanics, call them "channel locks".
