I'm just glad that there are lots of choices of manufacturers out there.... Keeps things in check..
There are less every year. The last Brazilian manufacturer is now part of Holt - and I learned to hate them in less than a month.
Customer service is traveling underground and prices skyrocketed. Now we pay imported gear prices for local products stamped "Holt". Kind of reminds me of the polo shirt brand: $5 for the shirt, $95 for the tiny aligator.
