This week the special was the spider at $20 off so I jumped on it. It's made in the USA so it should be a nice tool. It is nicely made except for burrs on the screw holes where the screws penetrate the collar. Easy enough to fix but I shouldn't have to. The other thing that is more of a "WTF" is that they used metric socket head cap screws. I've got nothing against the metric system but was surprised that they used them on this made in the USA tool. At least they're screws equivalent to grade 8 screws, 12.9, and not Chinese cheese screws.
