They stated in May 2019 they were shifting operations back to the US with a 90 million dollar reinvestment. Today they are closing their plant in Shenzhen, China.
The week before last Rod had broken several of his 1/2 drill bits drilling a lot of holes in hard steel. I went down to the local hardware store and grudgingly paid almost $30.00 for a new bit since he only had a few holes left to get done. Much to my disappointment he brought that bit into me shortly after I got it to him. The dang thing was coated in something that looked like carbon steel. That really pissed me off so I promptly called the number on the packaging. The service person on the phone was like what do you want me to do about it. I read off the warranty on the package. He said "Well we don't deal with that" and then said, "Take it back to the store where you bought it". I took it back to the store. where the guy at the counter looked at me as if I was a bit nutz. I told him, look at that cheap shit. I expect it to drill more than two and a half holes before breaking after spending $30.00. Look it isn't even what it appears to be. That is nothing more than coating to make it look like carbon steel. The guy calls his boss and she tells him replace it as it has a life time warranty. So I got another hceap ass drill bit in place of the other worthless crap. That means I have to save the package and receipt and every time it gets used and breaks we have to take it down and get a replacement. F' cheap made junk that waste time, money and efforts; bring it all back and quit giving away out manufacturing to countries that make junk in place of quality.
