There may be something wrong about the way my brain works. I read Don’s brilliant column and am left with a picture of tough American toolmakers with really soft hands https://www.jergens.com/en-au/

Good article and also useful. My industrial designer son works in a firm that is experiencing the pinch that many are. I’m passing this along with the advice to seek out those companies, like Jergens (whose tools I used to buy when I ran my machine shop).

I think the first companies, that look at the doughnut and not the hole, will be the winners.
