I spent about a hour grinding and filing to get it installed. Last week I went to the local Red Wing Shoe dealer to get a new pair of of work boots. They used to have one wall of American made boots and the other wall was the Chinese made Worx brand. Now there is a small display with about 10 pairs of USA made boots, Everything else in the store made in China.
