    I hate China! All they produce is junk. Anything that you buy made from there is junk. Parents won't buy toys made in China because of lead in the paint used in their products. BUT...... they don't care to strap their child into a car seat MADE IN CHINA. I can't imagine what's gonna happen when Chinese cars finally make it into the U.S. market........

    I try to avoid crap that comes from China if I can help it. Most of the time you just cant help it though...(TV's, computers)

    As much as I hate unions, I always feel better when I buy something that is made here.

    Unions brought you the off-work holidays, weekends and 40 hour work weeks. But regardless, you support stuff made here in the USA, I respect that. No unions = $.10/hour like China.

    Truely shows the corporate greed in the USA. Another good one, is Fireworks. Pretty much all Americans when they buy fireworks are celebrating the birth of our nation with Chinese made fireworks. ? I don't buy fireworks for that reason. I make my own!

    Absolutely. Mine are far more powerful but probably safer than the chinese ones. They have unpredictable fuses. I use a foot of cannon fuse on mine. Roughly 30 seconds to get f**k outta dodge.

    I suppose this is the tool kit you use to work on your car and remodel your house? Poor soul!
