If you squint and hold your tongue properly, you can
just make out "Made in China" on the label.

Try some good Grade 8 nuts (plural) and see if the sloppiness
disappears.

The balls they make in their factory, but they probably buy the nuts
and washers from a third party - and the supply chains in the Far East
can be really treacherous.

"Oh, Yes! They meet the tolerances you need!" (Quick, forge the QA
paperwork before you ship them!)
