Re: remember when
Yes it's sad. Bought an oscillating fan a few years back. I chose because it had large American flag on box print and said made in USA. After opening the box of cheap imported crap I read the box again. The box was made in the USA, not the contents. GG I feel like Archie Bunker more every day.

Re: remember when
It's really tough to come up with parts for anything. Not that the Made in China parts are necessarily bad, but you typically have to do some drilling, filing or other modification to make them match up.

Re: remember when
I have found itÂ’s not even worth buying Chinese tools, or even anything made within the last 60 years
