A letter from Billy Ding
Dear Sirs:

I used to be a European professional hand tool manufacturer's china branch General Manager (buying), collected some information about the tool industry in China.
More and more European and USA hand tool manufacturers are closing their doors, due to the finance crisis, now it is the time to cut cost for your customer and yourselves, begin buying from China.
China can make spaceship,J20 stealth fighter, why cannot produce good enough tools and machines, please re consider the tools and machines from China.
For your reference:
China now is the tool making factory for the world, most of famous companies are purchasing from China, for instance:
ACESA
Amos(ABC)
Ampco
Snap on USA
Bellota
Beta
Carltsoe
EGA Spain
Facom, Stanley
Gedore
Haupa, Cimco
Home depot
Hulift and ABC from Italy
Irwin-Lenox-Record
Lowes(Kobalt)
Lufkin(they purchase measuring tape from China)
Medid
Rems
Rothenberger
RUBI
SAM tool from France
Sears(craftsman)
Stabili,
Subi ondo
Unior
The information listed is just for your reference when made decision. Maybe you are not sure the quality about China made tools, anyway, you can check the tools they are selling.

Yours Sincerely

BillyDing
