I needed a sanding disk for my drill the other day as the ol pad had seen better days so I get in the van and run to the local big box stores hoping to find a 6" cheep replacement pad.
I checked out the 1 brand they carried and noticed I could only get a 4" or a 5 1/2" oddball disk and would be stuck getting replacement disks from them. I wanted a 6" disk so I left the big box store and stopped at the local hardware store. A quick check finds an Ace 6" backing disk and arbor. $4.99 was right in the budget. I bought it and took it home.
I am in the shop and I just tossed the product on my bench. Awhile later I went to the bench and was looking something up on the computer when my gaze shifted to the package with the wheel and I immediately Key in on the following words. Manufactured In USA For Ace Hardware. I was shocked. I just figured it was cheep Chinese but Made IN USA... That's just outstanding it made my day. :thumbup::thumbup:
Yeah I realize it is really manufactured probably in China but Damn it it made me feel good for a couple a minutes anyway!!
