I suppose you don't buy German tools because Germans are all Nazi. Nor Italian tools because they are all Mafia.

Fortunately for the rest of us, America just like Germany, Italy, England, Sweden and even Spain to name a few, have managed to develop industries we in Australia have never dreamed of getting even close to. We can only hope they continue making the fine tools and machines tradesman and professionals use day in day out.

And for the record lets note that it is not government administrators who make brands and industries, it is private individuals with vision and courage and ambition who start perhaps in a shed and get to build tools and machinery and cars and aircraft that are famous perhaps after a few generations. Industry is developed DESPITE the government of the day and not by it.

And it is government idiocy and corruption and lack of vision that brings them down most of the time.

Comments like yours should be directed to efforts like the "emission trading scheme", a gigantic CON that will bring us to our knees. To the "Global Warming" religious mafia who display the obtuse ignorance of the Spanish Inquisition, to the NSW Government who wouldn't be able to organise a tea party in a nursing home, to the voters who keep on applauding Robin Hood and Evita Peron and their efforts to turn us in the new Argentina complete with "free" dental care. May be the one child policy will follow...

As for nameless Chinese made welders compared to American made Lincoln or Miller, even if some or even many parts are commissioned to be made elsewhere, there is no doubt in my mind that you yourself know how well they would compare.
