Might stop to think that no matter the name on the box NOTHING is made
anymore by a said co. Stuff comes from offshore made by same co's with
different names on the box. The only place I can see that you really have a
choice of HOW something is put together is if you have the item made to
specs and THEN you get offshore parts.. if those are cheapy items then you
still have the risk of the same situation.....not holding up. But I guess
anything is like that now...................
