What amazes me is that there's a good bet the steel used in the
chinese screwdrivers are of as good or better quality than the german
made ones! Just because an item is expensive doesn't make it good.
I've actually been to the plant in S.C. where Craftman cordless tools
were being made. When it comes time to put the guts into the case, the
line divides in two. Why? Because one side gets Craftman cases, the
other, Ryobi! Same EXACT tools otherwise! SO, now I go to Home Depot
and buy Ryobi cordless tools. They work great. Almost as good as if
I'd bought Craftman for twice as much!

The guys down at Foskett Equipment had to buy a small leveling table
and a leveling vice so they put out a bid and bought a table and vice
from an American source - I don't remember which one at the moment,
(might have been Waldron/Stevens) but when they arrived, the surface
was pitted and definetly unlevel by a significant margin of error in
both the table and vice.

They went to Northern Supply and looked at the same two pieces made in
China - perfect surface, perfectly level and high quality at half the
price.

Go figure. :)

Tell that to the folks in Florida whose houses are deteriorating from
the sulfur-filled Chinese sheetrock or the parents of kids who've been
sucking on lead paint toys or dog owners whose pets were poisoned by
Chinese product.

Go to walmart, buy their ****, put your own country out of business.
