Just got an impact driver from Harbor Freight. The thing stinks. I mean, really stinks.
Is that the usual for Chinese HF tools?

It's earl. Burning earl.
Hi Stormin,
It is a cutting oil they use in manufacturing. It smells like cat pee. It is really disgusting. Never comes out.
I buy German, Japanese, or American tools.
Do you have any relatives you don't like you can give it to?
-T
I've always felt HF stuff stinks.
Ah, maybe that's it. I've been considering leaving the plastic carrying box open outdoors for a while.
I have some Xcelite's that are somewhat odoriferous even though I've had them 45 years...so don't expect that smell to go away. The ones I have, the smell is somewhat pleasant so it's no big deal.
If you don't like the ones you have , send them to me and I'll give them to my cats.
Are those small screw drivers in a plastic case?
I have a 18 compartment box for small parts (clear plastic) that has smelled like vomit for as long as I've had it.
Look like china man f*ck you again.
Not screw drivers, but nut drivers... I guess after 45 years I've grown used to it
Looks just like the set Dad had. I thought they were well made.
