Re: Just to let everyone know

Re: Just to let everyone know
That sure is a case of 'you get what you pay for'!!!!!
If you stay with the brand name tools, the odds are you will be happy with them. The problem with these 'fence tighteners' is there are so many cheap knock offs. I is like the original Canadian 'Jack All' brand of barn lifting and post pulling jacks. First the Americans imitated it with their cheaper and lighter 'High Lift' jack, then the asians have imitate it with 'really' cheaply made 'no name' ones. The North American made ones are still good quality. Mike 86/00 CJ7 Laredo, 33x9.5 BFG Muds, 'glass nose to tail in '00 88 Cherokee 235 BFG AT's Dave Milne wrote: > > sorry, my terminology.
