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 |

Try to find anything in Costco NOT made on mainland China or ROC. While my wife shops , I browse the pallet racks and try to do just that. Schwinn bikes "Made in China" is what the box said today. You can almost spot a "Made in China" box at ten feet...they all have corragated ( thin wall) cardboard box made in a different color than most U.S. crates. Also checked out the Waste King disposers...designed in the U.S.A. by Anaheim Mfg. With a bit more investigating on the box...low and behold "Made in China".
Three things that scare me about China: their pollution of the air and waterways with mfg. byproducts ; Their lack of concern of contamination in their food production for humans and pets; and if they decide to call in all of their outstanding accounts payable from all of the U.S. merchants selling their crap, most of whom are operating on a shoestring in this economy, our $$ forecast will get uglier. I am going to miss the U.S. made Vise Grips. I guess we can call the new ones Vise Gripes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Marty |
