Chinese groceries. Are they as good as Chinese steel? Chinese power tools?
Well Chinese steel is a little better than bamboo, and as far as Chinese power tools? There is a chain hardware store where most of the tools are from China. If you want a cheap tool that you can throw away after the job is done, well that’s the place to go. A big problem is that foreign companies like Stihl have factories in China. I know of several guys who bought Stihl chainsaws not knowing where they came from. They lasted about 2 years and the piston and rings were burnt. Should last much longer. I have 2 saws, one is over 12 years, the other about 5. One made here, one in Germany. They both run fine.
