    not all chinese stuff is junk - just need to do research - buy off amazon and read reviews of people that have bought the gear

    had a chinese purchasing nob on a job in china tell me that the part I had shown him was not made in china - to which I told him that everything was made in china and to get on with his job
    If you torture data for enough time , you can get it to say what you want.

    Waste of time. Go with the brands which have earned your trust. If necessary pay the premium for quality. Of course if you are cheap like me I don't always follow my own advice

    But in practice if you have the money is the way to go.

    Ok so here we have:

    The panel beater's long term projects unit
    The racing car unit
    The house removal guy - he has a big Mack which only just fits into his unit
    The underground thrusters & cable guys - I prefer above terra firma actually but each to their own
    The dirt boys - they shift dirt about the place but I'm sure they do more than that.
    The stock trucks man - enabling a one way trip to the abattoir
    Mr Whippy (or derivatives thereof)
    A heavy vehicle mechanic
    A car mechanic
    A paint stripper
    A fire wood yard
    Until recently a furniture removalist
    A bar owned by heavy dudes with outlaw motorcycle connections
    The dispute about the power is between the landlord and the bar.
    I don't hate the US and Euro people. It's their politicians who are the dickheads.

    If necessary yes, but don't follow the advertisers blindly. Where an alternative is 40% less, it's your choice to make a decision. I like to have a choice, what is best for me not the shareholder or the government/foundation donator mandated item.
