I always read the labels first, then I decide if I want the item. The only Asian tools I half trust is Taiwan's tools. |

Must be THIS news from CNBC: http://tinyurl.com/2l7lbo WOW! I hadn't seen that one. I am glad to know that China is doing us a favor by selling poisonous goods to us to keep prices at Wal-mart low. Maybe by getting rid of the surplus population there will be more for those who are left? More houses per capita mean lower housing cost, more of everything so prices are lower, wow what a world! |

That depends on what you buy. China can make exce4llent quality tools, and
China can make Junk, depending on what you are interested in paying for. If you pay for quality you get quality. On Fri, 17 Aug 2007 20:35:40 -0700, trvlnmny wrote: With all the news about the quality of the products coming from China what should we be concerned about in our woodworking toys. |

No, if you _contract_ for quality, inspect, and hold them to the contract then you get quality. If you pay a high price and don't do your end of the QC job, you get high-priced junk. It's not just the Chinese who work that way. When Jaguar finally implemented receiving inspection on their electrical components they ended up rejecting almost all of what the Prince of Darkness shipped them. That story is famous in automotive circles--I understand that Lucas nearly went bankrupt before they got their own quality control up to snuff. -- -- --John to email, dial "usenet" and validate (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |
