Products to avoid

I can imagine the insert loosening in the wrench pretty quickly

I would think that they would have a special weave to the carbon fiber cloth to give it better strength along the long axis of the wrench. Those short fibers going perpendicular to the long axis add very little strength.

Actually the short fibers tie the long ones together so they share the strain. Pulling on the wrench wants to compress the long ones on one side and stretch the long ones on the other.

But the fact remains this is a high tech solution to a nonexistent problem. Plus they're way too much money. Sure a polished Snap-On set could cost that much, but personally I think that's ridiculous, when you can get a Craftsman set for probably $30. I don't like the Snap-Ons because they're too slippery. Oh, and combination wrenches are more useful.

The Barnes & Noble Nook HD+ is a goddamned turd. It is a motherfucking piece of shit. I could happily beat Mr. Barnes, and Mr. Noble to death with it. Smiling every second. I cannot believe this product made it to store shelves. There is no way, NO FUCKING WAY, I would have my name associated with this product.

Somebody, somewhere was the last person to have to sign their name on a document releasing this chalky, dried up, dog turd of a product to the market place. That person should be fired and prohibited from ever holding more responsibility than the fry guy at McDonald's. I'm not talking about the guy what cooks the fries, mind you, I'm talking about the guy who's job it is to put the cooked fries in the little paper sack, or the little cardboard carrier.

Looking at something online? SLAM!! Fuck you, Bunky, you're now looking at the desktop, or WETF they call it. Want to type in a web address? Go ahead, Pecky, type it in. Wait. Why doesn't my keyboard come up when I touch the address bar? Come to think of it why doesn't my touch screen work. Touch. Touch. Touch. TOUCH! TOUCH!!!! TOUCH, GODDAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!

MOTHERFUCKER!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you get buttfucked, right in the mouth.
