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 |

I've spent my entire career in manufacturing, very few consumer products are still made in the U.S.A
My two questions to the "Vise Grip Corp." are: what took you so long, and why now? Are they unable to compete with the foreign copies? From the response on this thread it appears that we sure like their products & would continue to buy even at a higher price. I've always sought out the best products, no matter where they are made, not the cheapest. It sounds to me like they are making a big mistake moving this offshore, now the only thing they have going for them is their past reputation and name. This could disappear quickly and they will have nothing. |
