The Quality Crisis: Chaos in the ’90s Market
By the late ’90s, the market was rife with counterfeit and inferior products. A variety of tools such as saws, screwdrivers, and hammers were seeing a degradation in quality to cut costs:
- Saws came with smaller handles and narrower blades.
- Screwdrivers had increasingly thinner shafts.
- Hammers weighing 16 ounces were now made at 13 ounces, shifting from forging to casting processes.
- Pliers started being made from scrap steel.
- The wall thickness of valves was reduced.
- Power tools like angle grinders turned into rotating “toys,” priced at just a third of their original cost. More info:
