@ onetrack I can empathise with your last example.
To replace a lost item, I bought a "Bahco" adjustable-wrench( "Crescent-wrench"....B. A. Hjorth &Co. Sweden)
Bitterly disappointed....sloppy sliding jaw is able to twist slightly sideways and excessive slack in the adjuster means you set to a nut and then the jaw moves so it's a slack fit or won't go on at all!
Yep! this once-proud Swedish name has been prostituted my last (and final)
Bahco product was "made in China"
It is relegated to the "plumbing and use as a last resort" bag!
