This pisses me off. I've bought a bunch of their pliers and really like most of them. I for one won't be buying them anymore. Now if I manage to break one they're going to give me a china made replacement. If anyone wants to send them feedback here's their page http://www.irwin.com/irwin/consumer/jhtml/contactUs.jhtml I sent them a letter myself. John |

What we are seeing with the "global" economy is a gradual leveling of the standard of living of working people. The countries with cheap labor and limited or no costs for safety/environmental issues will produce the product at the best price. We can buy cheap from Wal Mart and Harbor Freight. Now, what do the 300 workers in Nebraska do to earn the wages they once had? I don't know the solution but the problem is clear: working people in this country are seeing a reduced standard of living. The service industry does not pay the wages that manufacturing used to.
