Would you live in a house built with drywall made in China?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Just the drywall........................The house was made in china or just the drywall?
I have no study or part numbers. I just said that my community of maintainers were ordered by the Navy to remove Made In China Wheel Bearings several times on different aircraft tow tractors. I don't know which countries make wheel bearings, but only the China bearings were ordered removed. I guess using your logic, myself and the whole Navy is racist.So where is your study on this bearing in question made by which manufacturer in China? What? You don't have one? You don't even have a part number of the bearing that the original poster is asking about? So, this is more based on racism, and not facts and evidence?
That particular Chinese bearing may be of low quality, but without any real information no conclusions can be made. Hence, this entire thread is pointless.
give me a list ill swap tool for tool and shipI agree with bottleworks. . .
Oh, and make sure not to let your kids handle your Chinese wheel bearings. . . lead issues
I'm off to my shop to throw out all my Snap On tools, and replace them with Harbor Freight stuff.
I disagree. I have visited Hong Kong and China many, many times. I find the food outstanding!Let's face it. Anything made in China is suspect to poor workmanship, poor tolerances, and poor quality ingredients. But, hey, it's CHEAP!
Fortunately, as we have free trade with Pakistan, they will soon be making bearings
OK, I couldn't let this thread go any longer without throwing my in the mix. I wouldn't say Timken bearings are junk. Is the quality as good as it used to be, NO, but the are far from junk, and far better than anything made in China. There are only a few things not up to snuff in a Timken bearing made today VS. 10 years ago. One is the plastic cage that holds the rollers inside the race (not all of the cages are plastic, some are still metal). 10 years ago that was a stamped cage and not plastic. The other is the steel for the races and rollers. 10 years ago 100% of the steel in the bearings came directly from one of Timken's very own steel mills located in Canton, Ohio. Now this is not the case, but Timken does still have quality standards for the steel they buy, and a vast majority of that steel still comes from their own mills. The difference being that now they are forging the races and finishing them to final spec. in some cases rather than cutting them from rolled seamless tubing like they used to.powerhousedeuce said:Now Timkin uead to be the sh!t when it came to rear axle bearings, now they are JUNK. DO NOT BUY TIMKIN!! Now if you want a better bearing, better than US made you want to go with KOYO bearings.
