Craftsman Tools "proudly made in china"

Folks, for many years after World War II "made in Japan" meant JUNK. Not so now. Then the same was true of "made in Taiwan" - not so now. These days "made in China" is widely thought to mean JUNK and a lot of it IS!!

China is big in manufacturing right now, India is big in Information Technology. India has millions of well educated people, China has millions of UNeducated people who can do simple manufacturing tasks. However, as far as I know, the world doesn't have any more large populations of uneducated folks to pass on the low tech parts of manufacturing to.

Another factor in China's favor is their socialist government that is largely controlled by their military. At least that's how I see it. What to do about it? Shop carefully and don't always buy the cheapest stuff. Hang on to your old tools and don't hesitate to return broken stuff to the "Everything made in China store". That's all I have to offer.
