In all honesty, this industry at the roots bleeds cheaper, the picture above is no different than the manufactures, they are doing the same to themselves, it is devaluing this industry at the core and I understand to a point.
It really is coming back to the guys above in this picture that want to work for so little and expect the manufactures to continue to produce tools cheaper so they can afford them, I don't really think that it is going to get any cheaper for manufactures to employ workers to make these products, as I see the minimum wages are going to rise, at some point something is going to break.
I understand not wanting to pay to much, but I also know that at some point you can only cut cost and still produce a decent product.
