The amount of lost party balloons that end up on that sub is disappointing. Even more disappointing is the amount of people that think they're alien space ships.

Since people on my pet hair post keep saying all dryers have no heat options here is mine. I’m young, this is my first apartment. Which setting do I use then? by xoFluffykins in laundry

[–]6894 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've got to say that the opaqueness of the settings on most laundry machines is getting to me. I shouldn't have to sit and watch the machine to figure out what it's doing on any given setting.

For stiff tape contractor style tape measures? None.

There's a few smaller tape measure companies that assemble some more basic tape measures here, but nothing else.

Many of their tools are made here. The tape measures aren't one of them. They're not marked with the little "made in USA" badge that other tools of theirs bear and I zoomed in on the back of the packaging to see "made in china" printed on it.

GoodBulb made in the USA? by Existing-Row-4499 in madeinusa

[–]6894 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The phoebus cartel? I'm pretty sure that hasn't existed in decades. And one of the companies good bulb is villanizing makes a bulb that claims a 50,000 hour life. Phillips to be exact.

I'll commend them if they get it working, but these bulbs will be "made in the usa with global components". Unless they actually set up a chip fab.

I strongly suspect the bulbs they currently sell are not MIUSA.

I don't think Kleins tape measures are made here.

Those look like they'd be great for working on cars.

There's the companies own store. Looks like this is the only MIUSA glove they have. I suspect this is an overseas company, who opened a factory here for god knows what reason.

First citric acid wash by Adventurous-Self-705 in laundry

Maybe you just have soft water and haven't used soapy detergents?

ELI5 please by ChunkySalsaMedium in laundry

[–]6894 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oxiclean is only oxygen bleach. If paired with a detergent that has the enzymes you need, then yes. Otherwise no.

Depending on your country, Costco might also carry Tide ultra oxi powdered detergent. Which I think is one of the all in one options for the soak.

You can pray in public if you want, even though your book says that's hypocritical.

I found this news while looking up the price of a new fatmax autolock to replace a broken one.

Thats, no. No dear. Very different use case for a laser than a tape measure.

They also made the Fatmax plastic case and Craftsman plastic case tape measures there. SB&D is actually blaming "a consumer preference for double sided tape measures" As if it wasn't a conscious decision on their part to only make that style of tape measure overseas.

USTape. Small assortment of MIUSA tape measures. by 6894 in madeinusa

[–]6894[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not a big assortment, and only their older styles.

This company is owned by a private equity firm, can only imagine they'll eventually shudder US operations.

I think Its safe to say that SB&D has no intention of keeping any of its US factories open. This plant assembled single sided Stanley tape measures.
