when he says bank i hope he's just referring to the credit card issuer as "bank" and not because he used a debit card. i only use credit cards online. a debit card is your money, the credit card is their money. when problems arise the credit card issuer is much easier to deal with.Man orders drill online, receives printed photo of one instead

US companies get ripped off worse than consumers in China. Now Trump about to him them with another whammy tariffs.

Initially, MedSource relied almost exclusively on factories in China. On his first trip there in the early 2000s, Mr. Fagley learned that he could procure emergency medical kits used by paramedics for roughly one-tenth the price in the United States. As MedSource expanded into other products, it came to depend on two dozen factories in China for roughly 95 percent of its production.
In 2014, MedSource developed a new type of intravenous tube, entrusting a partner factory in the Chinese province of Jiangsu to manufacture it. A few months later, while at a trade fair, Mr. Fagley was horrified to spot prototypes for his new product displayed by another Chinese company.
Shaken by what seemed a brazen theft of intellectual property, Mr. Fagley moved production of the new device to India.

By declaring he’d put tariffs on goods from the South American country, the president imperiled a growing influx of foreign investment there.

If you are going to buy a tool or device it is always best to buy from reliable source and to not go cheap
Shoulda gone over to Harbor Freight or Northern Tool if he wanted a cheap drill. This dude was trying to be cheep cheep and got got….
They really do have $25 impact drills on aliexpress, but you gotta pay attention.
OG breh must have ordered from one of those scam stores.
and I know what happened with they bit, they scam the unaware. What they will do is they will put multiple items on the same page. Maybe 4 of 6 items, One of the items will be something really cheap(like that bit he ordered) and one of the items will be something nice, but expensive, like the drill.
What they will do, is they will show the expensive item in the thumbnail, but list the price of the cheapest item, and it defaults to the cheap item when the click to buy it. So folks think they getting something nice for the low, but they really buying that cheap item.

That's even more diabolical than a man who offered folks a solar powered clothes dryer for $39.99. He mailed each of his customers 100ft of clothesline. With no clothes pins.
Yep, Harbor Freight or flea market Mexicans are my first stops when I need cheap tools.

Buy tools from Aliexpress, brehs. They're based in China so you're going to be waiting at least a week to get your item. Could have just gone to Harbor Freight, Home Depot, etc and got it the same day.
