ROFLMAO guys.....

Most of you aren't old enough to remember when "Made In Japan" was a joke and most of the product that came from there was cheap crappy junk.....

Then it was "Made in Taiwan" (after the Japanese got their shit together)

Taiwan got the issues sorted and quality went up next was Korea anyone remember the early Hyundai cars?

China are on the same learning curve and will get it sorted as for educating consumers it's human nature to go for the price so if they improve the quality people will buy from them hence my earlier post that unless it's high end boutique type product Western manufacture will die out.

I remember seeing a bumper sticker that said:
"Japanese Motorcyle Repair Kit" and it had a hand gernade under it.

Derk: LOL don't make me hurt you!

Wayne: We can't compete due to labour costs and the developing Super Factories will only make bad parts for xx time then they improve I've seen it time and again over the years.

I use a tapping head in one of my machines it's just a planetry gearbox that goes in place of a drill chuck, you put a Tap in it pull the handle on the drill press and it taps the hole you then let go of the handle and the tapping head reverses the tap and backs it out.

My point here is when I bought it many years ago my tool supplier had a Genuine Japanese one in stock and pulled the Chinese one out to show me, the Ch one was 1/3 the price and the only difference I could find was cheaper fasteners.

I figured I'd buy it and if it failed in use my mate would exchange it for the Japanese one......... that was 20 years ago I still use it today and it's tapped 1000's of holes.
