What do you think about chinese power tools?

Question: I have just bought a 24 volt cordless drill for 83 usd and it seems to work great.

But I'd like to know why a drill with the same features in another brands like Milwaukee or Dewalt are far more expensive.

Answer: Chinese power tools are okay for most homeowners. They aren't for the heavy users like Construction professionals. Chinese power tools are more geared toward the occasional use by homeowners.

It's been my experience buying cheap Chinese power tools from places such as Harbor Freight that these tools are not durable for heavy or extended uses.

It's said that Chinese power tools use less quality materials than the big name brand tools like Bosch, Dewalt or Milwaukee.

I have several of these tools. Most are specialty tools that I only use every once in a while and couldn't see spending the big bucks on name brand power tools.

If you plan on using these tools on an everyday basis, it will pay to buy the better made and higher quality name brand power tools designed and manufactured to be used everyday.

    I have a drill press from China. The biggest problem was the packaging. A plastic part broke during shipping. I just took it back and got another one. Some parts are made out of a lighter metal and some parts are just as sturdy as anything made anywhere else. I don’t use it everyday and it has worked great so far. But back to your question. Most of the reason is labor costs. The workers are paid next to nothing.
    This reminds me of Japanese products in the 60′s. Same thing…everyone said they were junk and they were to some extent. But look at them now. I think I’ll go buy stock in a Chinese company. Maybe I’ll get lucky and pick the next Nissan or Toyota. :-)

    Every time I use mine, two hours later I have to do the job again.
