We get what we pay for when purchasing Chinese made goods.Yes a $.99 egg beater will sort of work, but how well before it goes for a flight out the kitchen window?NorCalKuma I am looking forward to your review of the item.I recently bought the real deal and am expecting it to last for years. Cheers

CheersIts impossible for many people not to comment about Chinese stuff. Like I mentioned earlier, its all been said before and for many many years. What would be helpful is real experience about the item being discussed. Or at least an intelligent observation. Allar made a much appreciated and valued comment.I also have the "real deal", pferd for my .325 chain, that cost 3 times more. Will compare to two.
I'll be interested in hearing your use reports :^)As far as the photos go... I don't see a way to blow them up with the forum software. You'd probably have to do it with image manipulation software on your computer, keeping the absolute dimensions 650x487.
The problem with "real experience" with Chinese stuff is it can vary widely. It's all generic, and sourced from various shops that range from "competent" to "waste of time and material". Brands are virtually non existent. If they don't believe in their product enough to put their name on it, why should I believe in it enough to buy it?Like it or not, China is known for junk. Nothing they do is better than the western alternative. You can make the argument that buying Chinese provides better bang/buck, but at this point in time, they'll never win purely on quality. Also, there's much whining about "corporations" sourcing stuff overseas, and "something" should be done about those evil corporations. The mirror will show what needs to be done about those evil corporations, though that ship sailed years ago. People decided to sell out their neighbors to save a couple dollars, myself included, though I /try/ to do what I consider the Right Thing™
