mickjj Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I am a Carpenter/Joiner by trade and still a good 60% of my hand tools are Reord/Marples that I have been using for over thirty years. Now that is quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tsavo Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Sadly, quality is no longer sufficient for the survival of a company. For some reason we now accept that cost is more important than reliability and good workmanship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
