Earthquake Chainsaw

Back in the day before people could write or speak, "made in Japan" was a phrase used to ridicule the quality of anything. It was an insult, derogatory and used frequently. When Japan first began making inroads into our enormously profitable and powerful domestic automobile business, that term was often used to steer people away from that absolute "crap."

Reminiscent of the construction of the first intercontinental railroad. "Despite the concerns expressed by Charles Crocker, one of the "big four" and a general contractor, that the Chinese were too small in stature, standing at about 58 inches, weighing about 120 pounds, and lacking previous experience with railroad work, they decided to try them anyway. After the first few days of trial with a few workers, with noticeably positive results, Crocker decided to hire as many as he could..."

Hey a 4+ year old thread lol
I still service earthquakes and blue max saw's and there are countless versions with different plastics now.
The new craftsman saw's are chinese as well.
Looks like the china saw's are here to stay.

Mankind has a long-lasting built-in capacity for seeing things as they aren't. Whichever boobs happen to be in positions of power over others at a particular moment, we have a tendency to misperceive and deny their strengths and value.

Sadly, it typically only works one way. If you buy cheap, you get cheap. But sometimes you buy quality, get junk.

you don't always get what you pay for, but you rarely get what you don't pay for
