[RE-wrenches] Sharp modules

[Kirpal Khalsa]

Drake....As far as i know the power tolerance rating has gotten a bit better
than they used to be.....I believe the floating glass inside the frame is a
long standing design but I just haven't seen any other manu's doing that so
it seems odd when carrying the module and the glass moves independent of the
frame....
I like the idea of a rubber mallet to "knock the frame into shape".....but I
dislike the idea of having to do this in the first place! Haven't had to do
it for other manu's modules....
We have started to use the Sharp modules recently due to their reliable
supply, lowest cost for  US manufacturing, coupled with the idea that their
company is relatively stable as far a supporting their warranties for the
long haul.....
Anyone have any other US modules they find to be of good quality, reliable
supply, low cost and strong company foundation that values their installers?
Cheers,
