War Aside british engineering is in my opinion is the best in the world Germany and tha USof A of are there too,it is a shame that very little in the way of tools comes out of these countries now,Most of my woodworking tools are made in britain.

I found it hard to believe that the USA have their Millers falls Saws made in asia regions.Fuck Globalization and Fuck all cheap shit tools. my Grey Ferguson still goes as well as the day it was purchased,The shit asian tractors are rooted after 2 years
