Fellow buyers beware!
Dad bought mom a 4 pack set of farberware scissors for Christmas at Fred Meyer's and mom just finally got around to breaking them out to use on some stitching she was doing. Out of the four only the tiniest pair was worth a darn. The other 3 were useless, the largest shear type being unable to even cut denim.
This is part of a disconcerting trend that has become evident since many American manufacturers began moving their production over seas. It is especially noticeable with products originating in China. Chinese factories will regularly make products which look nearly identical to an American made product but which completely fail to perform the task for which the device or product was intended. These items then displace locally made items from the shelves of our stores due to the larger profit margin that the store can make from them. The end result is we throw away money for a product which has no value what-so-ever regardless of how cheap it is.

I think this is part of China's plan to disable America. ;-) I've also noticed all the crap made in China that lacks the quality of the original products that were made here or even in Mexico.
