I am willing to invest tools. Man likes tools. Is it made in India or a Chinese junk? Is it waterproof and bulletproof?

Tom has already indicated his is made in China. As for the other questions, ask Amazon or him!
It would seem you spend a lot of money on little parts. :)
Well i would bet it's from China, i didn't look to make sure.
The thing is if you want or need to make something (like say a phase plug idea for a compression driver), there is no way i could fabricate one.
But, if i can get my daughter to draw it in Solidworks, it can be exported to the printer and in a few hours you have one.
An amazing part of this approach is one can print interlocking parts like gears within a mechanism and the parts are free to move, an assembly that you can assemble from parts. Had the model for the rail car truck had a gap between the separate parts and brakes not applied, the wheels and suspension would move.
Google a sight called Thingaverse and look for anything you think of.
I am pretty sure one of the main things these are used for is printing miniature but precise figures for board games. A large printer can print an entire set of those or more in one session.
In some cases, it makes sense beyond prototypes for short run production to print parts vs molding them.
how useful it would be at Danley Labs for prototyping. I had a customer who used one for small manufacturing runs of proprietary parts. Not so sure as to the cost effectiveness of spending that much money for printing otherwise readily available stuff.
First couple of pages at Thingaverse seem more like novelty items but I can see the potential value.
My wife said I have too many tools and never use them. She also said I have too many speakers :)
one who enjoys multiple systems around the manse.
Music system upstairs, HT in family room (where wifey spends lots of time) and system in garage. In ceiling speakers found in multiple rooms and out by pool.
Everything in use. :)
It is nice to have pool at home. I had one but here the weather is too cold and not much use. So I removed it. Now I go to our middle school to swim with my wife. They have an in door Olympic pool. We can swim all year round.
I live in the mid south so we get a good six months or so of use each year. It's about time to open.
Nothing better to cool off after a long run or mowing the 1.6 acre lot. :)
I used to live in Dallas on a business relocation for about one year. The weather there is definite warm.
