Sigh... Maintenance

I hate it when this happens in the middle of a project.

The picture describes both problems, one being concrete, the other abstract.

Easy to see both problems, but I'm a little curious what that stuff was all part of.

I can't see how a broken bolt is abstract.

I don't understand what you're saying. Yes, it's a broken bolt and yes it's from China!

Mortising machine. For those who don’t get the abstract part, you need both a bit of humor and understand why human abstract behavior sometimes gets bad results.

Here is what we do @ work when we get Chinese tools. With Pipe wrenches we replace the jaws with Rigid Jaws.

Power tools we look at them and often the connection hardware if it looks cheap we replace the critcal pieces before using. Kinda a hassle, but we cannot afford to allow tools to fail in the field. Besides we need to idiot proof them. ..........Still, not good enough for the creative ones.
