Thanks for posting that Davido,
But a slightly related comment:
No wonder their products are cheaper. I didn't see ANY safety equipment. No Guards. No Eye protection. Workers reaching into hydraulic presses. Did you notice the foot wear?
Yep we got a global economy now!

In the 1980's I was using 20 and 30 ton presses with no guards, depending on what you are making , sometimes you can't use guards, there's just no room for them. We had to be multi skilled back then, I'm not to sure how a lot of the computer generation would go using them though, you needed an attention span longer than 20 seconds to use them...!!!
