Well, just to let you guys know, I have been made aware of a very
unfortunate piece of information. Paslode has decided to have their
major internal components for the cordless nail gun group, to be
manufactured and machined in China. This may not sound like much, but
this amounts to 95 % of the internal workings of the gun. This will
include all framers as well as trimmers. This will more than likely
lead to more failures in the field, and God knows when we pay as much
for these tools as we do, we expect them to work ! Oh well, another
quality tool down the crapper !!!

If you think made in China means poor quality, you are sadly mistaken. The
reason more is going to China is because the Chinese are willing to build
the products for the what they are really worth. There really is no reason
in the world that a nail gun should cost $300, other than to pay a high
salary. I have to say, high union labor is running more jobs off to over
seas manufacturers. It aint rocket science to build a nail gun and yet the
workers here think that they should be paid rocket science wages.
