ha hes right

 

but his price isnt really unreasonable

 

I guarantee my productivity has gone way up since I threw out all my shitty chineese made drills, taps, blades, etc. For people who are in their shop once a week it's no big deal, but if you make money doing these things, almost nothing from china is worth whatever bottom dollar price they are charging.
