Me and my cousin are looking for some chucks. We dont really want to have to spend like $40 since they USED to be $10. Plus, slave labor isnt cool. :nuts:

I read an article almost a year ago about some generic chucks that were made by a company with very strict policies on ethical treatment of its workers. I think they were made in Venezuala...

Does anyone happen to have the link to that site?:confused:

The company is No Sweat

BTW, you must be pretty old, because Chucks were $20 around 20 years ago...
