DEWALT 20V MAX Portable Air Cooler turns a jobsite tool into a lifestyle gadget

Oy, #DeWalt! These safety boots are barely a year old! Not only is the upper on one disintegrating because a single line of stitching wore through, the soles (I now notice) have also eroded really quickly. I shouldn't have fallen for the branded PPE/safety wear thing in the first place, but still. Then again I had bargain priced JCB branded boots before ,and they lasted, oh, 7 years? 8? Something like that.

Anyone know if there are #Makita branded boots?

[Перевод] Электроинструмент становится хуже, и это делается намеренно

В 2005 году гонконгский конгломерат купил за $626 миллионов компанию Milwaukee и вложил в неё деньги. В 2017 году американский конгломерат купил за $900 миллионов Craftsman и построил фабрику, которая оказалась неспособна даже штамповать собственное название на инструменте. Один и тот же учебник. Противоположные результаты. Это история о том, что произошло со всеми марками инструментов, лежащих на полках магазинов.
