Well, I won't comment on your bigoted personality but I will comment on the rest of your post. The Chinese (ie. Asians) will make anything you want. They can make pliers etc. as cheap as you want them or they can make pliers as good as Snap On. It just depends on what the customer (our tool suppliers) want to buy to resell to us. Meanwhile, we are all living high on the hog and getting fat and lazy while the Chinese are kicking our butts on the world market because they're lean and energetic and will work hard. A historical case in point would be the trouble our auto industry is in, it happened because we sat back and demanded high pay for menial assembly line tasks (and got it too). The result is an inferior product and sagging sales. Ever find anyone that has bought and driven a Japanese car and then went back to domestic? I doubt it very much, and remember all that "Japanese Junk" we used to talk about 50 years ago? If you think things are bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet buddy .... in 20 years we're going to be in the soup line over here unless we tighten our belts a bit and suck it up. Hate to rain on your parade but after reading your post, we shouldn't wonder why much of the world thinks of us as they do. Not looking for a fight on this, just stating some facts.
