    It’s the slowest basecoat I’ve ever seen. The color match is lacking. Ease of use just isn’t there. There’s no one in Oklahoma that can answer any questions that I had about it when I using the product. If the customer support was better I might still be using 90-line but for now I’ll stick with Diamont.

    LOL!!! :rofl Thats funny! Dont let crash1 from the other forum see this. 90 line’s not bad at all. I do miss the color match of it.

    By far the worst tool I had was the Sharpe Platinum. Piece of junk!!!! On a side note my 1/4 inch mac tools FOOSE edition ratchet is sorta a pile too. Keeps siezing up and the little switch keeps flippin on its own. I know I know bring on the criticism for buyin a foose edition anything. Say what you want but I got a sweet deal on a nice set a couple years ago.

    Without a doubt I have had many this isn’t the worst but still not a very good design or should I say not made from quality parts
    http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=95014
    I have had to fix or modify this thing every single time I have had to use it till now it is now nothing like the original this is with very little use at all.
    Its just not made from parts to take any use at all before it falls apart.

    Absolute worst tool has to be some sort of cheap air/water filter I got from someplace probably one of those VFW liquidation deals I had it hooked up to my blast cabinet, The thing worked great for a long time till one day I was blasting away at some part and it Blew apart sounded like a gun going off parts of it hit me and cut me pretty good too. That was the Last time I was to buy cheap air tools of any kind.
    I think I still have an extra one of these laying around some place I may post a picture of it for you guys and then through it out.
    Since I was using my Blast cabinet I wasn’t wearing safety glasses had it hit me in the eye I would have lost an eye for sure.

    Another on the list
    Some sort of Rubber Backing plate I had on my Buffer while using one of those Stainless steel plates for straightening metal with heat the Backing Plate flew apart missing me and My partner but not before flying across the shop and putting a big dent in the steel wall :cens had that hit one of us it would have hurt or sent one of use to the Emergency room for sure.

    this ones a little different than the tools being listed but mine’s definitely the Blue Point low profile jack. the damn thing basically fell apart with the first few uses.

    I think a drill is probably the most worthless tool. Millions of them are sold every year and nobody needs one. What they need is a hole and nobody sells them so you have to buy a drill and a bit to get what you want. I think the canadians must have come up with that.:deadhorse
