Re: Tool prices are ridiculous
There is most likely a signifigant difference between a Chinese Dewalt tool and a generic Harbor Freight Chinese tool. However, I suspect that DeWalt et al are trying to capitalize on some windfall profits while they are able. As generic brand Chinese tools improve in quality, durability and name recognition, Dewalt will not be able to keep their prices high.<br /><br />It is a progression that has happened with other emerging Asian countries such as Japan, Korea and Taiwan.Originally posted by Grant S:<br /> I wonder why they are not correspondingly less expensive.
