You can criticize the Chinese and their cheap junk but the problem is the U. S. 
consumer's desire to buy  cheap junk.

You see it right here on this list when somebody is looking for info whether VB 
or Moss is 2.50 less than the other or when someone is looking for a $25 part 
for free. Lucas makes green-box parts that consumers buy and reproduction parts 
that are one rung above the category of scrap. 

That's why you have Home Depot and Lowe's. Consumers looking to save abuck 
support them, buying  their lower quality products they have builtto their 
specifications.

Don't support these people. Demand better. Complain. Have a willingness to pay 
the cost for a quality replacement part.
