The problem with this statement is it's too short minded. You're thinking about today and not tomorrow. The Chinese don't give a **** about the crap products they make because they have no pride. Their main focus is to make products as cheap as possible to gain all the market share. This forces businesses that put out a quality product to close their doors and we are stuck buying their ****. People are so ****ing short minded that they will buy something because it's a quarter of the price, ignoring the fact that they will have to replace it every few years because it's nothing but junk, in the end it really isn't any cheaper and businesses with pride and quality products are disappearing. Remember when you bought something, took care of it, and it lasted and lasted and lasted, so long it could be passed down to the next generation? Those days are long gone as of now. The new mentality is, buy it cheap, throw it away when it breaks, and buy another. We are spending just as much money and having to deal with the frustrations of constant failure of **** products.
What the Chinese are doing is working, as shown by the made in China label on everything you pick up. If you think this can't happen to Stihl with these crap clone saws and kits that are starting to gain traction, you're blind. It's time to put a stop to this **** by not supporting these communist bastards, and buying quality products, even if they are more expensive. Yes, OEM saws are better, in many more ways than one.
