LOL ...

That wasn't quite the feedback I expected .. :D

Yes ... brand name ... Canadian too.

Been thinking about buying some friends for the lonely one Ive been carting about in the toolbag for decades.

Never heard of them, most of mine are snap on or cheap mastercraft ones.

What's special about them?

Maybe nothing special ?

I just like the easy clean handle ... and that there's no messing about pulling handles apart, or looking in jam jars for the bits.

Any of the similiar types down here - have ended up being junk - by comparison to this old picquic I've got.

.... but its been a while since I bought it, no one stocks 'em here, anymore, and I'd like to know whether current build quality is still good enough ... to justify shipping costs, from up there .. :D

I have a question for Canadians too.
Why does Canadian bacon taste a lot like ham?

Well we don't make peameal bread!! At least we get points for originality lol!!! Why does everything go to baccon with you american boys? I assure you when we say baccon and eggs we are refering to normal ass baccon but when you throw in the pemeal yeah we're refering to yummie slabs of pork that go really good on burgers!

LOL

... Nahhh - its a product of Canada ... www.picquic.com

Probably made out of crushed maple leaves, beaver tails, and recycled lacrosse sticks, or something ... but a good little screwdriver all the same.

Thanks for offer too ... Want to find out if they are ... still ... good quality before ordering tho.

That means every piece of meterial used to make the product was preduced in canada... made in canada means that it was built here but with some imported things ;) they changed all our labling a few years back!

I found this on the Lowes website. Now you got my interest. I'm gonna have to check it out on my next trip.

Opps!! looks like I spoke to soon. apparently Lowes here in the states don't carry it. It's one of those things them Canadians are keeping all to themselves like the secret animal they use to make that bacon from.

I did find it on amazon though.
