That's exactly correct, most products that were made in China were built to specs provided by American companies. If you send in drawings, models, and specs for high quality products then the Chinese companies will provide a superb product at a fraction of the cost to produce anything comparable in the USA. If you send in specs for a bunch of junk then they will be happy to provide that too.
@HIFLYER, I assume you are talking about stuff like the Harbor Freight tools and yea they are mostly junk. As for Hand tools (power tools excluded) I can agree that Craftsman, Snap-On, Kobalt and a few others are far superior than most and I am not certain where all of those are made. As for power tools, the better ones are not made in the USA.
