I can name a dozen _professional_ brands that are NOT made in China. And Klein is a Dutch or German name (and means small) :P Frizz could you send one of those 10 bucks CPO removal tools ? Can't find them here. (Or I haven't looked well enough). |

Klein is all over the place here, my tool pouch is filled with Klein screwdrivers. I also have a klein bottle. Does that count for anything? http://www.kleinbottle.com/ |
| Fordman:
If it is a Craftsman gasoline powered tool, chances are it is a Briggs & Stratton or Kohler motor. They used to use Tecumseh motors but they were junk! You can find some honda motors on some Craftsman stuff. Also if any carburated motor has gas left in the tank, the gas, which has some water in it will separate over time with the water evaporating and 'vapor' locking the carb. I make about $2500 a year cleaning 'vapor' locked carbs in lawn mowers in the Spring time every year! Fordman |

I ran it once and made sure that it ran completely out of fuel. I hope this will help prevent any problems with gas sitting in the tank....(At the time I was more worried about the gas going bad and the oil in the mix gunking up the works in the carb...) |
