Nope, I would never buy one and give up the hobby if I had to.
and yes, Im sure some of the components are made there.
and on another note.............
Three places I wouldn`t be caught dead in:
WalMart
Harbor Freight
McDonalds
Wouldnt be caught in harbor freight? Im sorry man!, You are really missing out on some great stuff. Ive had nothing but good luck with harbor freight stuff.
Absolutely nothing of good quality comes out of China !

It used to be China=Junk Quality. Remember back when the same was true for Japanese goods? (1960s).
The last 5-10 years have seen them really improve on many products.
BUT- It depends on the item.
That's true Glasshopper same thing at Harbor Freight. You have to know what you're buying, Would you rather buy one wrench from the Snap On Truck for a hunnerd bucks or a whole set for 35 dollars at HF that will last just as long?
Not true for everything but...makes sense for some stuff.
There is not a chance in hell that any wrench sold at HF will outlast a snap on or any other name brand wrench, Craftman, Matco, SF, etc....
Everything sold at harbor freight is pure junk, Everyone knows Its the Pic and Save of tool stores.
I wish Americans would pull their heads out of their asses and get back to the Values we had before WW2. Everytime you buy something made in china you are shooting yourself in the foot.
Many Craftsman tools are now made in China, so just because it says Craftsman, you still need to check.

All my Craftman hand tools are made in the USA.
Everytime I buy anything I check to see where its made.
I was scratching my head when I found out the Minelab Equinox is made by a US company (Plexus Corp) in Malaysia, Outsourced by Minelab/Codan
You got that right, I figure if you have to concoct a recipe to make them taste like something else? you done picked the wrong meat source
