Well I have not seen a junk tools made either here or in Europe. Of course,
some are better than others, but never junk. However, it stands to reason
that there must be some junk made in the first world even if I haven't seen
it, but it sure in hell isn't 1 to 4, which I see regularly from mainland
China.

They are great value for money, but you need to understand what you are
buying. I have had very good luck with some, but I have really seen
some
junk.

I take it you've never seen any of the junk made here in the USA?


I personally have not seen any junk tools made in the USA.


Then you haven't been buying them here for long enough, Ig.
