There are different "levels" of Chinese imports if you will.
There is the importing companies that just want something cheep to import. They are looking for the cheepest quality materials and labor. Look for this stuff in places like Harbor freight and Northern tool.
Then there is an existing company that is trying to compete with the pricing, they find a plant in china that will use their American spec of materials so the product is abit better but still made with the same cheep chinese labor. This crap is EVERYWHERE!
I am glad to hear some of you still look for the USA flag on products.
