What brands do you associate with junk?

[EllDee]

I've had several junkers from many manufacturers including S&W, Taurus, Marlin, Remington, Winchester, and Beretta just to name a few. One manufacturer you don't see in my list of junkers is Ruger. Every Ruger firearm I own or have owned has been absolutely trouble-free! All very accurate shooters whether rifle, handgun or shotgun. I guess I sound like a Ruger advertisement but oh well! Let the cards fall where they may!

Just goes to show, I guess. Every Ruger I have owned has needed to be sent back to the factory. All four, one rifle and three handguns. Don't own any anymore, and unlikely to purchase another.

Gee....glad no one here is opinionated. You guys need to join Angie's List.....you'd crash their server with all that good data.

As long as we're talking about anything, then Pocket Hose. I bought two of them last summer at Home Depot. Both literally exploded after about five or six uses.

Ha ha... gotta get the "original" "x-hose" ;-)

Accu-tec pistols.

AND, Levi Strauss company is rabidly Anti-Gun............
I burned all my Levi pants years ago!!

I didn't know they are anti-gun. I switched to Wrangler as teenager and have never looked back. Very durable, I see why the real cowboys use them.

One man's trash is another man's treasure.
And once long ago I chased my ball into a little patch of brush. Picked up 27 titleist, 15 without moving my feet. Great day on the course.

Why do I feel like I should make some popcorn?

Land Rover, Lorcin, Remington .22 ammo except the Eley, any company that makes blue jeans with only 5 belt loops, a lot of sock makers.
I will say Harley, but that's not that they don't make good bikes, now. I just don't have any use for a V-twin, no matter who makes it, or how you turn it. Big Mac, gag. All the American car companies in the 70s. Remember British Leyland? I think now the Korean car companies(Kia, Hyundai) are close to the best. I wouldn't buy a Mitsubishi, I've never known an owner that was happy with one. How can I trust Dodge, they won't even put their name on their own truck. Why can't someone make a golf club that makes the ball go straight, when I hit it?

Oh, and let's not forget ABC, NBC, and CBS.

I myself have no use for a v-twin either, unless its a Ducati or a Honda RC51. Heavy & slow doesn't cut it for me. Mitsubishi, not that long ago, was circling the drain & for good reason. They seem to have turned it around, like Hyundai & Kia. I lost any respect I had for Dodge when I worked at a Dodge dealership for a couple of years. They sure built some good looking vehicles, though.

May I have melted butter on my popcorn ? and a root beer ?

Yes of course, Jimmyj! For some reason the event that I thought we would need popcorn for never materialized. I were wrong!

I haven't seen any junk rope mentioned here yet. I guess one rope's as good as another as long as they don't hang you with it...

All supermarket tabloids, plus USA Today.

Miracle Whip.

Any item sold by a TV pitchman.

 

[wildenout]

Taurus to me screams junk too, dunno why really?
Kahr, Kel-tec, and Cobra in firearms.
Mad Rock, and Evolv in climbing.
North Face, and Coleman in camping.
I could go on and on, but I believe I'll stop there for tonight
