I ordered this on Amazon for 34.99 with free shipping from a third party seller. Your price is 37.00 plus 8.75 for shipping. Somebody's on drugs with your pricing.
Every time I see this pop up somewhere my question is "why did they call this the Trucker's friend?" For the life of me I can't figure out why a trucker would need a demo tool.
ZeiredBased on every zombie movie I've ever seen this is called the Trucker's Friend because of Zombies. You're alone, dark back country road, radio goes out and all you got in the back is a load of rubber chickens destined for Kalamazoo. Zombies closing in on your three and nine and a wall of the undead blocking the road up ahead. Hit the gas and shift the gears, you're going 55 over a rise when you break through the mindless hoard only to realize you're not going to make the turn. Crashing through a forest your rig jackknifes to a rest against a pine tree and you're trapped. Broken glass, a dozen shotgun shells and a Trucker's Friend are all that stand between you and the infection. You grab both tools, looking up to see the swarm. Double tapping and reloading as quick as you can you're soon left with an overpriced club and the Trucker's Friend. Swinging the yellow tool for your life you soon break through, saving yourself, the load of rubber chickens, and the town of Kalamazoo from certain death.
Trucker's Friend.
Either that or the manufacturer owns stock in a meth factory running lot lizards on the side and wants to distract the fuzz from their activities as I've heard both called trucker's friend before.
I have watched several episodes of Game of Thrones, but I've never once seen a Truck Driver charging onto the battlefield, swinging one of these things around over his head--Vikings, maybe--but never a Trucker!
"Made in the USA with heat-treated resharpenable steel"
Uh... all edged steel is "resharpenable"... There's too many red flags in the design and the description. This is probably garbage.
Update to my previous post. I contacted mass drop Customer Service. After getting them to look at the manufacturers website, they confirmed the item was not as described. I had the option to return for refund or a $20 credit for item not as described. The grind on this tool was AWFUL. It was uneven and very poorly ground. I have not followed up with the manufacturer as to why mine was only 18.5 inches.
I know now this tool gained a following after appeared in one of the survival expert’s show but really IMO it’s all hype and marketing.
inventbotYour experience may be different. After having it for a while, I am not confident that it was heat treated properly either. Heck, it may not have been heat treated at all. Anyway, it was on an episode of Creek Stewart’s Show, SOS.
