Well, I'd like to think that at some point, people will refuse to buy things that don't work. When you buy out of a catalog, though, it's impossible to decide that ahead of time. With the cheap Chinese tooling, you never know what you're going to get. If you buy something with a known source, you at least have that company's reputation to work from to start forming an opinion. Me, I'm happy with my Rockwell machinery, and will only buy cheap Chinese tools/tooling for one-off jobs.
