I hate cheap tools. I much prefer to buy a quality tool and spend a little more for it knowing that tool will serve me for the rest of my life. Unfortunately, as more production goes offshore, our options are getting smaller. Sure there are times when you are forced to get the Chinese made gadget or whatever but I try not to. I was finally at my Wits' End with a pair of nail clippers. You know the kind. The $1.29 purchase at the gas station or local CVS Pharmacy. There are a few dozen strewn through my home and vehicles. Never paying much attention to them, until you need it to do its job. Well, this pair failed. The pin pulled out of the stamped metal. Junk. Second pair, the pivot was rusted and left rust marks on my fingers. Junk. Third pair and one edge of the clipper was dented and didn't give a good cut. Fourth pair? I had enough. I was on the hunt for a damn fine pair of nail clippers.A recent trip to Japan allowed me to check out all of the cool gadgets and toys and tools that Japan has to offer. I was in heaven. I had purchased a set of nail clippers that I loved. What I didn't know is that the TSA felt they needed the nail clippers more than I did. Thanks guys, you're keeping the skies safe from the nail clipper wielding terrorists. Sheesh.Finally I figure out the brand of nail clippers and I purchased one. I was in love again. Then it dawned on me, I can't be the only person who needs a dedicated pair of nail clippers. I can't be the only person that hates cheap nail clippers. So I ordered up a large batch of them, had them laser engraved with the Wits' End logo and now I have something that is Made in Japan gracing the pages of Wits' End.
