[Governor Dinwiddie]

The steel used in foreign fasteners is the worst. Anyone who uses fasteners can attest to the lack of quality in foreign products. The worst are high strength fasteners for aircraft engines, structural use, and other safety related applications. The fasteners are supposed to meet certain standards for strength and corrosion resistance, but the Chinese make counterfeit versions that look like the real deal but fail under load. I would NEVER use a Chinese fastener in an application where safety might be an issue.

Yes, the inside of the Phillips screws strip, and they even snap when tightening into hard wood. I’ve throw away whole packages.
