imagine the natural resource loop on this little hammer/nesting-screwdriver sets:

long after the iron, copper and other metals are mined, smelted, refined, alloyed and shipped for use in manufacturing, your gift destined for hapless “friends” must be manufactured and assembled in China and then loaded into shipping cartons and taken to the docks for shipment across the Pacific to the US, where they are trucked across the country to a warehouse and from there shipped to drop-sorting points and finally, in small cartons, delivered to your local hardware store where you buy a few as “almost-gag-gifts” for your “pals”, who receive them with false grins and empty thanks only to loose some of the screwdrivers after letting the kids tinker with it but later locate at least one of the screwdrivers and the hammer, and then, with not even a gram of guilt they are tossed into the garbage that’s put out on the curb and picked up by the city refuse collectors who take it out to the unincorporated part of the county where the waste disposal facility is located, and here is where the truck unloads it’s mountain of waste matter that is later smoothed out by a huge front-loader with enormous wheels that roll over the foot-upon-foot of post-consumer “stuff” that is made up of unused, unwanted and un-cared-for products and somewhere, under the hulking mass of the bulldozer, lies the still shiny “multi-tool” that was, as first considered, in the end, garbage after all.

Please spend your efforts trying to find high quality tools.
