Lets not get into this whole "Chinese" manufacturing thing - simple fact is, the debate would be lost as a large percentage of what's used on construction sites, cranes, heavy machinery, our vehicles, etc, etc, etc comes from China and perform just as stated when used appropriately. Quality control is the difference ...
Appreciate you didn't mean it that way, but a bit over the whole Chinese "crap" conversations ... thousands upon thousands of companies there producing and just because the general Australian public are a bunch of cheap skates and have searched high and low on eBay and the like to get the next "bargain", good reputable companies have struggled and some fallen over as a result of our ignorance to quality - don't blame China for 'meeting the demand for crap' and then start complaining like sooks at the result, we need to blame ourselves.
