    KURT, made in China?

    Ordered a Kurt Parallel set that included an extra set of magnetic vise jaws. Opened the shipping box and was greeted with a Red Kurt box with a MADE IN CHINA sticker on it. Ordered directly from Kurt. Right off of their website. Looks like this is the last Kurt product that I will be buying.

    Get wise, they're all made in China, even the sticker.......and if you hadn't seen the sticker you would be none the wiser and extolled the virtues of the Kurt products............. China is just another production facility that manufacturers go to for more profit.......I expect now that you've blown the whistle Kurt will ensure that all stickers are removed to placate people like you who only see a label as an indication of quality.....sigh.
