"If you dig deep enough, you'll find the vast majority of stuff has a non-trivial chinese content."
Your so right. Neighbour bought a Husqvana ride on 48" mower.... didn't want that chinese junk.....
Well 2 days later, he busted the alloy mandrel housing, so it ended up here...... and you guessed it, even the bearings are chinese.... he wasn't happy.
By the way, there was nothing wrong with the manufacturing.... this guy is just brutal on machines.
