Agreed that Chinese products generally have lower quality, but some are high quality. It really boils down to what the owner of the facility thinks is required to compete. When the owner is the Chinese military, or other government entities the quality tends to be lower. Privately owned companies may be more likely to turn out quality.

The other thing to remember is that the Chinese government is subsidizing US purchasers. The exchange rate with the dollar is artificially low because a higher rate would cause a slowdown in their economy. They will not do that forever.

I too have a Ryobi drill. It is a 14.4 volt and very seldom does it outperform my 12 volt Dewalt. Only when more tork is required than the 12 volt can generate is it better. So I use it most often because it would be cheaper to replace.
