MIBRO TOOLS?

Anyone here from Canada ever use any Mibro tools or blades? If so, were
they any good?

Thanks,

JohnV

I was the purchaser & sales supervisor (manager) of a Home Hardware Building
Center for ten years & can tell you for sure that most of the Mibro line of
tools, blades & accessories were fairly poor to medium quality, the low
price alternative in most cases, not getting into specifics I would
recommend them as the light duty choice only if you don't expect them to do
a heavy duty job later.

That was almost ten years ago so they may have improved......

I've got some Mibro tools, but since I don't live in Canada,
I suppose you don't want to hear what I think of them. If I
move up your way, I'll give a full report on the Mibro bits
I have.
