But you probably paid $5 at Harbor Freight for that, right?  That's the heart of the problem.  

I'm thinking about making tools in my backyard, labeling them as Made in China on them and selling them on eBay.  I think there's a market.  No refunds.

The principal is simple: It does not have to function, it just has to look like something that functions.

The alternator just went on my brothers 6 month old Civic.  The engine looks pristine. The voltage is 14 at idle and goes to 11.8 as the rpms rise.  I am guessing the alternator is made in china or it has diodes made in China.... wait until this $^!# gets into passenger jets!|

McDonalds has been using that principle for decades, make something that looks like food but isn't really.

"Forged in Fire" is the worst television show I've wasted 5 minutes on.  Please Canadians do not start forging anything other than your wives names.

Hahaha! I couldn't help cracking up on this one.
