As a fellow gun owner you should know that Tomkins Industrial was the owner
of Smith & Wesson and signed that awful agreement with the Clinton
>administration.
...
The Tomkins Industrial and Automotive group is a leading designer,
manufacturer and distributor of a broad range of automotive parts and
tools including products from Gates, Ideal, Plews/Edelmann,
Standard-Thomson, Stant and Trico.
Yikes, to boycott all these products would be a serious problem:
Gates belts and hoses (my normal source for these items)
Ideal hose clamps (my source for all stainless clamps)
Plews (grease guns and adaptors)
Edelmann (Brake lines and fittings)
Standard-Thomson (I don't really buy any...no prob there)
Stant (gas caps, radiator caps)
Trico (Wiper blades, but there are alternatives)
Thanks for making the connection Tom.

Hmm, like Allan, being a man whose principles are inviolate, I
promise to only buy those Tomkins products that I need. <Sorrowful,
pathetic grin>
