Don't bash the Chinese they can and will if asked make tools of superb quality. However if a US company goes to them and says I want 100,000 grinders landed in the US at 5 bucks a pop they will do that as well-quality won't be good and they know that as does the US importer but is prepared to accept this as enough of us will buy the junk for them to make a large profit .The only way to change things is not to buy the junk tools. The importer won't make any money and will import better tools next time . The down side is that they will be more expensive!
