There is no sense to buy china tool, because of low quality components and materials. It may present work hazards including exposure to unsafe chemicals and risk of fire.
Great words. This is an age of fakes and look-a-like cheaper tools. Many companies and goldsmiths are involved in this business. Even amazon sells copies. I really wonder, our life is too short for that. Work, enjoy, let yourself to have the best in life!
True. I've always told my students to work only with original grs. I'm worried about the future of my students, they don't really understand why they have to invest in high quality tools. Good that you have this topic. Here everyone can read about real experiences.
