dont knock china, the castings for some of the most precise machine tools are made in china, as was said earlier, you get what you pay for

 

They can of course make quality stuff when motivated to do so - the problem is that they usually aren't....

They can of course make quality stuff when motivated to do so - the problem is that they usually aren't....

 

The issue with Chinese manufactured products is us, the consumer. We always want "Cheap" and because we want "Cheap" we often get "Crap" &......"Cheap".

 

With most manufactured products, there is a price that fits a product that will last and has been designed and manufactured to high specifications.

 

So...a £600 chainsaw should last many years, work well, be safe and have spares availability.

 

When you purchase a sub £100 chainsaw of similar size, why be surprised that the recoil rope snaps, it won't start, the case is made of cheese and it is generally Poo????

 

Chinese manufacturers can manufacture quality product if dictated to do so by Western companies so Blount Oregon - if they have specified that the bar must meet or exceed Canadian standards of manufacture....all is good but if they want to cut £15 off the purchase price and don't push for the highest levels of quality, we will get soft cheese like bars that fall apart - lets hope it is the former:thumbup:
