Many people still think that China still makes junk, but that is far from the case. The US now depends on the millions of items they produce. They have earned our respect and now even our electronics industry depends on them. It produces many cars for the world market. They have state of the art machining processes and as a (former) tool and mold maker I can tell you this product is good. Many companies make them and sell them for hundreds of dollars. If you want brands, buy them, but if you want good things for the price, buy these!
