China welding machines

On December 7th, 1941, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. Upon refloating some of the ships, a Navy diver recovered an un-exploded bomb that said 'Made in USA' on it. It had been emptied of explosive and sold to the Japanese as scrap in the 1920's. They kept that bomb for two decades and re-commissioned it to use against us instead of scrapping it.

Harbor Freight might have welders that are better than Miller or even the wire-feed Finger Of God, but I still won't buy them because I refuse to knowingly finance a country that has made public statements that their intent is to destroy us as world competitor. Besides, they don't develop their technology, they steal it from us, and by buying it, any Chinese-purchasing American consumer is complicit in the theft.
In my opinion, anyway.

I'm glad you guys are getting your dollar's worth out of your purchases, and I hope that history shows me to be a misguided fool when it's said and done. I do truly hope that.
