Oh, they aren't engineered in China, are they?

That's what impressed me, getting the really long Phillips-head deck 
screws almost all the way into a 4 by 4 without chewing up the head is 
something I thought wasn't possible with one of those little things. The 
screws let of a loud squeal as they went in.

There is one tool from Bosch I really love: My Bosch Bulldog rotary 
hammer. When I use it as a jackhammer it sure sends the stuff flying.
