My two Chinese product experiences this weekend:
1. Bought the most expensive 'metal' sprinkler Lowes sells. Made in China
which is all they have. The box says Lifetime Replacement so I tell my wife
to hang on to the box 'cause we'll be needing it. I put the thing in the
yard and hook up the hose. I said to my wife, 'I bet this thing won't last
3 months.' Well, it lasted all of about 10 minutes before it wouldn't
rotate.
2. Then I decided to sweep down the pool using a new brush that I've used
maybe twice. I start noticing all of this stuff floating on the water and
then realize all the bristles are falling out of the damn brush. That'll be
going back also.
I'm hoping that if enough people start taking this garbage back to where
they bought it, Lowe's and the rest of these places will get the message
sooner or later.

Milwaukee tools is coming back to the USA because their name and quality
went down the chinese drain when they moved production over there.
At least *some* companies can see it. Not most but some.
Maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel, it might just be a
match burning but it is a light.
