Need a belt?

Got a text today from a friend that retired from automotive manufacturing a few years ago. Started a new business with his wife and kids. Their shop is in downtown Romeo. Knowing him, the products are top notch. Watch the vids in the link.

Zeho Leather Works

I'm no mechanic, but I don't think those are going to fix Michigan Tech's bus.

And I somehow thought that whiskey was involved.

That was the title draw.

Put a call into him but got voicemail. I'm curious about the name "zeho". His wife is one of the nicest people I've ever known.

I've been thinking about switching from belts to suspenders.

I'll suggest that as a new product idea.

Bus engine belts? No.

Interesting. That is expensive for a belt. But my husband does go through them pretty quickly. I think I could give it a go and buy one to see how it holds up. Thanks for sharing.

I don't think they're that expensive.

We're cheap then. Only belts we've bought are in the $20-40 range

Why use a belt when extension cords are cheap and effective

Do they have any studded leather neck collars? Asking for a friend.

Rope is cheaper, Jethro.

It's like they are talking directly to you

Most Box stores sell for $20-$40
Mostly made overseas
Labeled as genuine leather
Typically several layers of low-grade leather bonded together
Painted for appearance
Does not last - This picture, was Bob's belt that lasted only 6 months

Nice shitty belt purchase, Bob.

Shoelaces are even cheaper, and it’s always two-for-one.

Shoelaces wouldn’t work for someone like me.

Why do you need anything if you never stand up?

A grill that lasts 10 years is going to be more expensive than a grill that lasts 2-3 years.

That is my analogy.

I've had both... I am back to the 2-3 year ones because I can buy 5 of them for the same $ as one 10 year.

Not the best for the environment I suppose, but that's the way the market has been created.
