The vitamin and herb knot heads are almost as ludicrous. Got tinnitus? Endure a four foot long scroll down an ad leading to TWO NOT ONE miracle supplements for $79.95.
Our Federal Trade Comission used to whack these frauds hard but not these days.
Buying hand tools? One way to spot junk is to write the vendor and ask if the tool alloy is chrome vanadium molybdenum. The Chinese love to add a tad of vanadium and an el snappo amount of carbon but never moly.
Chinese fasteners are awful but they are learning how to manufacture good bulk premium AWG silicone wire. Silicone is horribly susceptible to cutting but great to use in protected boxes.
The only gasoline additive I've tried that does anything for car engines is Techron. My road has no Zerk fittings.
But the days of VX6 turn on the headlights till the battery dies then pour VX6 into the battery, climb in and step on the starter are fading. Like Wesley's diamond gloss car polish, and Billy Beer.
