I've stopped buying Chinese-made products for the last 5 months and I can't tell you how happy I've been and how much money I'll be saving.
A lot of Chinese goods are cheap upfront but you'll always end up paying more in the long run as you replace them more frequently. The frustration that comes with using crappy tools and items suck too. Using American / Canadian / Allied products simply is more enjoyable.
Stop buying Chinese. Hit them where it hurts!
I bought these cute little ceramic mason jar salt and pepper shakers, get home peel off the stickers on the bottom and BAM! Made in China printed on the bottom. They got me. Shady losers.
