Chinese tools and durability

Fialaja said:

So amI to think that China Milwaukee is as good a quality as the old USA made stuff? Or that Chinese Ridgid is even a fraction as durable as the Metabosourced drills I currently own that are made in Germany?

Did these manufacturers do away with auto stop brushes, gear protecting clutches and other devices that might save a tool or extend its working life?

With competitive price and timely delivery, MrPowertools sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.

I am a trade professional who specializes in restoration masonry and general contracting. Most of my heavy power tools that are in daily use are made in Germany or USA. My cordless stuff is all made in China and I have to replace them every few years. From my experience, Chinese made Ridgid is okay, it's made by TTI who also makes Milwaukee's line, but the warranty process is utter garbage and no local places in my area service the tools. If I break a Ridgid tool tomorrow, it means I have to send it back to them for service, which could take 2-3 weeks for a replacement. A broken tool costs me on the job, and I have definitely bought new tools to finish a job in lieu of waiting for a replacement.

I predominantly have Bosch, Metabo, DeWalt and Milwaukee corded tools. If a Bosch tool breaks, my local dealer will repair it within 1-2 days depending on how busy they are. Metabo can take a little longer if a part needs to come from Germany. DeWalt is the most generous, if I bring in a broken tool, they often will send me home with a refurbished tool immediately if one is in inventory. Milwaukee is frustrating because their mainline stuff is now off-shored and internal parts are no longer compatible.


Case in point: I had a problem two years ago with a Magnum Holeshooter I got circa that had an internal short. All the current production Holeshooters are made in China now, and while the exterior looks similar, the internals are not. The dealer said that six months ago, he could still get the part, but they are now NLA. As a long time customer and fan of the brand, that's so frustrating. Still, 20-30 years with my USA made Milwaukee tools is better than six months that I got out of the Ridgid Cordless Brad Nailer that I used on two small jobs before it gave up. I just don't want to replace a USA made Milwaukee tool with a Chinese one that won't last as long. It's not like the Chinese tools are any cheaper than the USA made ones they replaced...
