Chinese plan for failure?

[Ozwelder]

So many of the problems seen in Chinese tools revolve around fitness for purpose and deception. We buy a cheaper tool expecting it to perform a function.So often the tools fails to perform because elements of manufacture has been skipped or downgraded to keep it under a price point.

Its the branded tools that annoy me, buying a vice grip or some other brand well respected in the past, to find it no better in manufacture quality but very different in price to exact copies that come out the same factory door in a different package.

I recommend to you the book Poorly Made in China BY Paul Midler- its an eye opener.

You will look at their products with new eyes.
