2 widgets of the same type

1) US (or country of your choice) brand, that is either assembled in china or assembled in the US with chinese parts but is "made in US"

2) produced and assembled in china and says "made in china"

the chinese, in order to build up their reputation, are going to put their cheap parts and flunkies to work on the US stuff and put the cream of the crop to work on the made in china stuff.

Needed a double light switch the other day. Went to the storeand there was a house brand (13 bucks and prolly china) a German brand (18 bucks??) and a no name that had made in china on the sticker on the clear plastic bag for 4 bucks

Was looking and trying to see through packages if my covers would fit all 3 brands when a hero comes up and assists me. Tells me my covers will only fit the german brand (if I take the others, I'll need new covers.

Pay my 18 bucks, go home and install the switch. Flip it a couple times and it locks up. Take it back out and scratch my head to see if it was something simple and see that it was a different brand than the old one but covers still work. Mustered all my people skills and went back to the store with BOTH switches. Grabbed hero and we went to the switches. First showed him that all was the same as far as covers. Grabbed some more of the german switches and started playing with them and 2 others locked up. Got my money back and got the 4 buck china switch and life is good.

Done now.

Dave

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
