I was referring more to "fit and finish".

I was picking up a new set of needle-nose pliers, had to go through about
10 sets to find a pair that the hinges worked well on (some took two 
hands to open!!)  and the tips were the same thickness (many had one 
very thin jaw and one really thick one).

And while I'm complaining... phillips screwdriver shanks are no longer 
smooth chrome but rather matte - they do not clean up as nicely. OK, 
I'm done.
