    Banks Pneumatic tools at Harbor Freight

    I see Harbor Freights latest brand name is now "Banks" for pneumatic tools. Are these any relation to the Banks turbo and compressor company which has been around for decades? I bet it is just another name they invented once the old central pneumatic got too well known as cheap China tools that do not last.
    Can you smell a lawsuit coming soon?

    Shades of "Bell & Howell". Bell & Howell was a U.S. company making mostly film & motion picture equipment. Today it's Chinese landfill crap.
