SWAG Off Road - Made in China?!

- My review and experience with Swag Off Road after purchasing their 20 ton finger brake. This is my viewpoint of what is happening at Swag and contains some assumptions due to their decision to not respond to my direct message to them.
I still plan to buy their gooseneck dies and maybe their tubing roller at some point in the future.

I talked with SWAG tonight when I also got a Chinese part, it appear that all the hardware and the collars are imported. It also appear that SWAG OFFROAD is ok with saying made in America in big letters when it is not really American made. received today on 12/7/2023. The representative said the hardware was imported. One of my fingers is undersized and just falls out. (they wanted me to pin punch it to get it to stay in the holder. Crappy excuses on my first and last SWAG purchase.
That's disappointing
Totally agree!
All hardware and steel is imported anymore
My personal opinion is that you have been more than fair in this experience. Thanks for being transparent to your viewers.
Thanks for the feedback, I feel like I've been very reasonable
@@HardEarnedBacon
Yes you have, and thank you for sharing your experience with swag.
I am going to guess that collar was sourced as a cost savings to all of us. I also think all iron/metal/steel is now made and sourced from China. The rust issue is most likely from storage and is intended to be cleaned, welded, painted by the end user.
I purchased the band saw stand for my Milwaukee a couple of years ago and am satisfied with it.
I have a Grizzly mill and lathe purchased used and It is a decent product. Most stuff we buy nowadays is manufactured in china. Our phones, clothes, shoes, etc are made in china. Americans are our own worst enemy when it comes to the end reason why all that stuff is now made overseas. We can point the finger at government regulations, politicians, voters, tree huggers, etc, the list goes on.
I was a machinist many years ago, I am old and re-TIRED now. Very proud of what I made and accomplished. Manufacturing went by the wayside years ago along with our jobs, pride, etc.
With that said I do understand your concern. Thanks for your review it was honest and to the point.
Semper Fi
Good on you bro. I go out of my way to buy American made products when I can, so when I see something advertised as made in USA I purchase in good faith. I'd probably feel the same as you if I had gotten a part stamped "china" having had my expectation set that it should have been made in USA. Sadly it seems like "made" is a fairly loose term anymore, with "assembled" being equal to "made".
Rust is probably inevitable, but like you said, isn't that big of a deal, since in your case it was just light surface rust, probably from storage.
Still, cutting out less than 5 star reviews is a bad look for any company, as it shows a lack of transparency. When I look at reviews I generally look for the bad reviews first. One, so I can spot any red flags about a product, and two, to see how a company responds/supports customer issues. If you go on a site like quadratec and see a bad review, they generally have customer support reply in a comment and show their willingness to address the issue and/or correct the situation. Had swag done something like this, and at least explained their side of the issue in the reviews, it would probably go a very long way with their customers and the fab community at large.
Yeah nothing was a big deal until I realized what they were quietly doing with the reviews. If they had responded to my review or to my direct email, I would have never made this video.
it was rusty cause it rode on a shipping vessel across the ocean (salt water loves metal) from china =)
I'm glad that you shared your swag china experience with everyone. I too like to buy American made products. It seems like they may be selling china made products and charging American made prices. The thing that bothers me the most is the deleted reviews. I love to read reviews to find out what everyone else's experience has been but if they are deleting reviews that are slightly negative how can you trust them.
i started watching this video thinking your claims were baseless, then you got to the review part. Thats when I was was hooked on the video, subbed to see if they respond.
Thanks for the comment. I never received a reply from them and at this point I don't think I ever will.
@@HardEarnedBacon thats disapointing af about their reviews, I can get over the made in china collar and the rust, but deceptive practices for reviews is a trash business practice.
thanks for sharing this!
But why rust in the first place . A rust spray (like WD40) is a cheap deterrent, but the collar and the bold china stamp is flying heavily against their motto . Dayum, I'm going to start looking at chinese parts like this if I'm going to get chinea in disguise . The reason I bought Primeweld welding gear since the last two years . Where do you think the components come from in these "American" welders and such ?... @@TheJefferson
@@user-kh2yl6nn3l Welders all have Chinesium components inside. All.
SWAG made a mistake by not including "Made in the USA with US and foreign sourced components". If they had a good lawyer, he or she would have told them to include it in their advertisements.
I suspect that the bolts/capscrews they supply may also be foreign sourced. By law, they are allowed to state "100% made in the USA".
I hope to see a follow-up; thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for doing this video. Every company can find room for improvement
I agree, thanks for watching
Thanks for this. I just saw their "Portable Table Pro" and saw it's compatible with my Makita band saw now. Now I'm thinking of looking for an alternative. They should not hide unfavorable reviews. I will still consider their products but their behavior is plain wrong. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Fabbing my own 50" finger die. Not only theirs are $1500 not including tax and shipping they're probably NOT 100% made here in US. Thanks for the honest and unbiased review.
Great video!👍🏻👍🏻
You're 100% in the right here. I had the exact same thing happen with Harbor Freight reviews years ago. All of my perfect 5 star reviews got posted, but not one of my critical reviews. Which were very fair, accurate, and not even harsh. Like your Swag review.
What you didn't mention is that only allowing favorable reviews to deceive customers and sell more product is fraud and it is illegal.
I'm not surprised you got a few negative comments on the video. Once people become fan boys of a company logic goes right out the window. It's still weird that some try to downplay the minor problems (rust/china collar) when the point of the video was not that, but Swag manipulating their reviews. That's some next level dishonesty.
Subscribed.
100% agreed. Thanks for the comment.
This is why you NEVER trust web site reviews. Unless it’s somewhere like Amazon or a 3rd party seller. They all do this.
I was going to place a order now I will just fab my own thank you
Hi, I'm also a buyer the Swag finger brake. I asked Swag if this machine is made in USA because here is South Korea and we have the FTA with USA and this agreement affects the tariff when it's imported. So I got the email from Swag explained only the shaft collar is from China and others are made in USA. Fortunately, I waived from the tariff when it arrived. I understand your concern and thank you for your frank review which can be helpful for other people to buy it even though I saw this review after I already bought this brake. Surely, it's not a big issue as you told and this machine is working perfectly so far.
This alone... IS ENOUGH. When you bury stuff... it sometimes doesn't always disappear. Appreciate you being waay more honest and tolerant of Swag's slip- up... lol... too bad for them, but the only review I read... yours. Like I said, I appreciate the info. You were and are more fair than they are... KUDO'S young man. 10:02
Bacon, thanks for posting this. Sad to hear that Swag is yet another "influencer darling" company hawking Chinesium gear at "Made in USA" prices.
Love your finger brake build.
Thank you
Good to know. I'll be sure to pass this on. I don't like dealing with disingenuous companies.
Ove had similar experiences with big and small companies. They don't want a review, they want a testimonial.
Your right on
More people need to see this. I just ordered the finger brake 2 days ago. I haven't received it yet, but it's disappointing to give money to a dishonest company.
Agreed, very disappointing. That being said the brake works perfect and will serve you well.
@@HardEarnedBacon The point isn't that the product is no good. The point is that you paid $400 dollars for an "American" made product instead of $200 for a Chinese product presumably because you want to support American business. And that is fine. But when both products are (possibly) made in the same factory in China, you have to realize that the only thing you are supporting is One American's Greed!
Well swagg can't guarantee raw materials aĺl are made in USA good % steel is imported should be stated fabricated in USA guarantee that your reviews are genuine and deleted and rust could have been from shipping who knows what happens when it leaves and arrives to you usps it's raw steel if you bought it completely done then I would expect it to be rust. Free you have to weld a grind on it so....
Good deal. I've looked at buying this off and on the last couple of years... its tough out there. SWAG may have been able to execute some changes for their customers while still staying in business/maintain a profit during these crazy times. Only if materials get sourced in the USA can a company make that part of their mission any more... sad state of affairs IMO.
... scratch that. I just watched another on that was done 5 years ago... MADE IN CHINA. 😕
Now a days most companies brag about having a zillion five star reviews. Talk is cheap and I do not give much credence to reviews anymore.
Agreed
I haven't bought any SWAG products, but I was about to....NOW I will not. I hate dishonest people.
How will anyone know what is wrong with a product if SWAG continually edits out the nasty bits all the time? Seriously, as a business, if you are interested in success, you allow your product to be judged and you dont fk with the responses. How can you improve a product if you dont save the bad reviews? This is all on SWAG to just be honest w buyers and stop "pending" reviews as a method of making the product SEEM 100% Bullet Proof.
thanks for posting, The verified review being censored is a much bigger concern than rust or Chinese made parts - However I really don't like when companies pose as proudly made in USA and sell Chinese parts. Aas consumers we can be swayed to buy made in USA - so it better be if you advertise and represent it that way. I have the same brake, and I really like it, and they do have great products. It seems like Swag may lack integrity.
I was watching Hill Top Machine Works channel. He built one around 2019, and noticed the collar said China.
Wow so it goes back before covid shortages and they have always claimed 100% USA. Disappointing.
@@HardEarnedBacon Yep,,It was June 11,.2018.
I can't say personally anything about their products are customer service. But i did read a article about some nasty remarks about a product after someone did a review comparing it to another item.
Interesting. I didn't do any searching to see if other people have had this type of experience with them but maybe I should.
Should say like Ford or gm or John Deere or caterpillar assembled here using parts sourced from overseas.
I was looking at reviews for their tubing bender and dies but now I'm just going to get a different bender. I want a company that has customer service not lip service and if they wont respond to a simple question how am I supposed o believe they will stand behind their products? their review don't matter if they are only posting the ones they want.... Was also looking at their 50" finger break. now I will take the time to just build one.
Does one have to leave a 5* rating to post an honest review? Seems like I've noticed that happening and now it makes sense why.
Depends on where you leave that review it seems
Shame on them. Making a decision to not share your review is very dishonest to not allow future purchasers to read your and others in similar situations to be aware of their fraudulent 100% made in the USA claims. Many make the decision to purchase based on if something is 100% made in the USA
Can't stop me from making a video though!
You know I believe they pay people to give the company good or great reviews
We will probably never know for sure
Surface rust for a weld it yourself kit and Hardware made off shore, common. Advertising as USA, not a good way to go. China processes our scrap metal. Asking the customer to write a review and burying it, worse. Does it happen every day? YES. Welcome to my Country.
i wonder if they can run into trouble with BBB ?
Only if they are accredited, which it doesn't look like they care to be.
Bbb a scam itself
The five-star rating system has become pointless.
Especially when the ratings have been "cleaned up".
What bothers me, is that the simplest part to make (being they can be cut from a heavy tube stock from a band saw and drilled and tapped for the set screw . No heat treating , complex treatments or anything . So this is telling me there are other parts that are outsourced . Man, the reason I was going to purchase their kits for a higher cost (knowing that American parts are going to cost more) . I mean, if it was ALL made in china, the kit would be something like $100 or less .
Totally agree with you…my only issue is that it’s their website and they can post what ever they want…so if they choose not to post your comment that’s their choice…it sucks and I’ve been down this rabbit hole before so I know it’s frustrating.
True they can do whatever they want on their own site, even if it is very shady. Not sure what the full law says but advertising something as made in USA when it isn't can get you into legal trouble though.
No update from SWAG? I hate dishonesty and reputation is everything. Someone needs to step-up!
Nothing
I will not be buying SWAG!
I can’t believe you would still deal with them
a fair video ,,, shame on swag
We know, we know it's not really a big deal, but.........
Not really a big deal until I noticed my reviews were missing. They can't stop me from making a UA-cam video though.
In our modern world.....there is nearly zero products that are 100% made in the USA.
I am a US manufacturer and we can only get certain parts from China because that is the only place they are made. Common hardware and fasteners are not usually made in the US. Aerospace and military components are made here but they are not for a DIY consumer product.
I can easily forgive some Chinese hardware when it does not impact functionality.
I cannot, however, tolerate manipulation of reviews. They simply need to address this head on, make necessary adjustments to their claims, and move on.
Deleting reviews is unforgivable.
Guys just build your own and f…swage
good thing you seem like a good person lol definitely could be a false advertising lawsuit over such a small part probably why they are censoring you so much.
Several other people said their reviews were deleted as well, so it looks like they censor and ignore anyone that doesn't leave a perfect review. They can't stop me from making a video on UA-cam though, lol
It shows how little integrity they have. I will build my own finger brake myself, not economically feasible, but I hate no integrity !
Thanks for the video. Not cool on their part
Agreed, not cool. Some people are defending them which makes me laugh.
With this customer service, and fooling customers. I plan to buy anything else from them.
I think you cannot have honest opinions anymore! Good bye Swag!
The way there customer service is why would you still buy products from them. Acting like you don’t exist just because you had a bad experience doesn’t make it right
Bad business by swag to claim “made in USA”. It’s dishonest and not fair to the companies who actually do make/ source everything in the USA. They need to be reported to the federal trade commission. There are huge fines for companies making false claims about being “made in USA”. I make a sell a product that is all made in USA minus the casters that go on it, it’s a small part of the product but I refuse to state “made in USA” I would buy USA casters if you could actually source some….
This is a US standard. Many companies do this and people assume USA made must mean it is made out of USA sourced products. That's just not the case. Hopefully many of you learned the different from his experience and no longer make this assumption. If it doesn't say made in the USA out of US sourced materials, you can be assured it's not US sourced materials.
"Made in the USA" means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! But it is a catch-phrase that Americans will go out of their way to pay extra for!
Here's an example for you. I am a Canadian and my neighbor produces a product that he sells labeled "100% Canadian Organic Wild Rice" and it is exactly that.
His best customer is an American non-organic commercial wild rice producer. This shrewd American businessman mixes 25% of my neighbor's legitimate organic product with 75% of his commercial non-organic wild rice. He then sells the mixture as "100% American Organic Wild Rice"! It is neither 100% American or 100% Organic! But as long as he puts in 25% Organic wild rice in it he is allowed to sell it as 100% pure and it doesn't matter where it comes from.
Swag is probably American owned and they think that it is their right to source their product anywhere they want and still say Proudly Made in the USA and the sad fact is that the courts will back them up on it!
You can't fight this, but you don't have to believe them either! Caveat Emptor!
Hmmmmm. any word yet?
Nothing
@@HardEarnedBacon Sad, I have had the same responce (No responce) from some of the other equipment suppiers after posting a review like yours. Thank for the reply...................
I love my swag equipment. They are so helpful. Metal rusts. The collar thing sucks but so does leaving comments. :) whaaaaaaa
I love my Swag equipment even more than you, thanks for the view!
I'll probably just buy a china made brake on Amazon, ebay, etc rather than a Swag.
I find it hilarious, that you commented on a China $6 collar when you have it on the most Chinese Harbor Freight Press, also they are in Oregon, Oregon has more moisture than almost any other state. We take pride in the parts we assemble so everything goes to powder coat, I feel you are big dealing the rust. Have dealings with ProBender, Pro-Tools, Hossfeld and JdSquare, Swag is a Dream to deal with compared to the other bender companies
I find it hilarious that you completely missed the point of this video.
Like you I have several products, most recently a band was table. Like you my review was not logged on the website guessing because I mentioned that the miter was a bit cheap and the powder coating on the table was so course that it made sliding material across it more difficult. My take is that they have very good products and if they choose to not post a comment for whatever reason it's perfectly OK with me. Doing business these days is something every person should have a chance to do..... because it isn't easy on any level. Peace
I'll just delete your comment from my video since you don't fully agree with me. -That's what Swag would do.
I didn't say they shouldn't have a chance to do business, but lying about where your stuff is made and hiding verified reviews that aren't completely in your favor is wrong.
I am so damn sick of the games these companies play. I would have absolutely ZERO issue with knowing that swag was using foreign parts to upgrade my foreign cheap ass tools. However, misleading me to think that they aren't, is unacceptable. They KNEW what they were doing. Swag knows they are misleading people, to increase sales. I don't think I'll ever trust reviews I read on a company owned site, that profits from selling that very product. Black Rifle Coffee likes to do the same kind of crap, with how they conduct sales/advertising. Sadly, I don't buy their coffee anymore, because of it. Why can't companies just be transparent and honest? Is the buying public not to be trusted to make decisions based on truth, anymore? I think that if you can purchase from another company that doesnt act this way, you should. If we keep handing these companies money for doing these things, they will continue. I find it odd that you would send them MORE of your money, after being lied to then ignored, as you have been. If you're still sending them money, perhaps this video needs removed as well...
I will never buy from SWAG.
Hello thank you for your comment you have obviously exposed a very serious matter involving swag. I believe your comment and experience dealing with swag shows that this is more important than anything facing the world right now The war on Ukraine the possible war with Russia we need look the other way when it comes to those we need to act immediately on swag I want a formal investigation into swag I believe you are a United States hero for exposing swag and it's sneaky business practices. The country needs more people like you you are obviously in touch you have your finger on the pulse of what's going on in the United States and I thank you you are a hero .
Nah I'm just joking yeah obviously a nutcase with no thing to do no nothing to do with your time but the nitpicks small items like this swag makes great products and if you don't like them you don't have to buy from them I suggest you seek out medical help you obviously have some kind of medical condition that would prompt you to go through such extremes okay so go out there get the help you need and happy trucking..
You leave a comment like that and then call me the nutcase? One glance at the videos you have uploaded tells me everything I need to know about you lol 😂🤡 Please seek help.
This is not even to mention that SWAG's products are overpriced, IMO.👎
But we don't give a damn Dude !
Clearly you do lol
When you eat out and the menu says "home made" do you expect that they grow the wheat and grind the flour for the bread? To summarize, you bought a new 100% China made press and the swag kit so you could pretend you DIY built a press brake. You received some mill scale "surface rust" on the bare metal parts and one made in China bushing. Oh, and the biggie, you felt censored because your complaints were not on display for everyone. I don't know if swag is being unfair, but in my opinion, you are being petty. If you truly felt like swag did not meet the terms of your purchase then you would have contacted them first and gave them a shot at making it right. Instead you started off with a poor review, and followed it up with this video, and my question is: did you solve a real problem?
I did not leave them a poor review and I did contact them before making this video. If you had paid attention you would have known that. Your statement is inaccurate and misguided.
@Hard Earned Bacon let me ask you how you would have viewed your review of you were the owner of swag? Would you want to be called a cheat for substituting one bushing with a China sourced bushing? Would you think that was a positive review? And would you want that up on YOUR WEBSITE, yes Swag owns it, for potential customers to read when the guy that left it was so upset that he never bothered to say "hey guys," ? I doubt you would, so let me say it again, you're being petty. I guess the need to create content surpasses the need to seek real solutions so you succeeded but again did it solve a real problem?
@@timblossom8904 I'm not the owner of Swag so your question is irrelevant. However, if I was the owner, I wouldn't advertise my products as 100% USA made and then ship my customers parts made in China.
I didn't call anyone a cheat, you are making stuff up to support your ridiculous argument.
Yes it is their website, but if you delete reviews off of your website that you don't like, then your review system is worthless and people deserve to know.
I attempted to say "hey guys" multiple times and was ignored. Again, you would have known that if you had paid attention to the video and not latched on to something with your own bias.
If anyone is petty it is you for clicking on my video just to leave a tirade of silly complaints that are completely irrelevant.
Since this video has given people a view of my experiences and shown that Swag is far from the perfect company that some people think they are I would say yes it has solved a problem.
This video has 20x more likes than dislikes so you are in the minority. Your ridiculous comments will change nothing. Thanks for coming back to keep commenting, it helps with the UA-cam algorithm and helps this video get seen by more people.
"I like Swag, I want them to succeed" he says unironically at the end of a 10 minute conspiracy theory video designed to harm a small business for views. Classic.
Facts and receipts is a conspiracy theory? Lol good luck with your cope.
@HardEarnedBacon "Facts and receipts" Lol OK. "I took a few screenshots and that's pRoOf they edited their website and deleted my review!"
Ever heard of a spam filter, champ?
I've talked to the owner a few times in the past. He's the real deal. Does he use a shaft collar that was made in China, potentially as a result of skyrocketing costs? Maybe. Did you get so emotional and sensitive that you put together a 10-minute video specifically trying to harm an American company? Definitely.
@@donjohnson5424 A silly, left field comment followed by another silly, left field comment. You can use the wayback machine and see for yourself if you like for the homepage edits. My review is visible at Judge.me which is the service that Swag uses to post reviews, but not visible on Swags website which means it is being hidden. What does a spam filter have to do with anything? There was no spam and the review was left with the verified link provided in the email from Swag. Plus that doesn't explain being completely ignored by the customer service email sent directly to them. If you actually came into this with an open mind and read some other comments on this video you would see that others have stated that the Chinese part has been used as far back as 2018, long before skyrocketing costs. Sharing my personal experience after being misled and ignored by a business that can take my money but can't handle my review (that they asked for) makes me emotional and sensitive? You claim I am a conspiracy theorist yet you say I am specifically trying to harm an American company which is a completely false statement and in itself a conspiracy theory. Thanks for the view and comments, helping this video in the UA-cam algorithm and get seen by more people. Luckily you are the minority and most people see this video for what it is and aren't triggered by someone passing along a truthful story. The owner of Swag may be great guy and the real deal, but not all of his products are it seems.
Yep, you were asked to provide a review by SWAG in a email as a customer - or likely you wouldn’t have bothered.
Then when you do bother (twice) your “censored” because the company don’t want any “negative press” on their website from perhaps their unsatisfied customers? 🤷♂️👎
I would object to being censored also, if my opinion was sought & I went to the trouble of providing it.
The “dishonesty” of claiming “proudly 100% USA made”, then censoring comment to hide the fact that at least 1 part is stamped “China” would tend to make me question if perhaps most of Swag Offroads products aren’t all maybe outsourced to China perhaps?
Heck for all we know there could be a town in China called USA, so that the Chinese can mark all manner of components “Made in USA”.
I’m amazed that the Chinese haven’t copied this product by now & selling it into Swag Offroads USA market place in competition, because that is what they do, put the original designer inventor out of business by selling their cheap knock off copies of products into their competitors market place.
They think absolutely nothing of stealing intellectual property, breaching copyright or patents even - because theirs nothing anyone in the west can do about it, you can’t hope to sue anyone in the Chinese Courts System run by the Chinese Communist Party in China as a westerner and hope to win, that’s just never going to happen.
Doing such a thing in our western culture is considered to be the lowest form of scum sucking pond slime, but it’s the reverse in China.
They take great pride in doing this because they consider that it shows their intellectual superiority over the westerners - when they can “put one over” on the round eyes. 🙄👎😡
The CCP encourage it.
Look at the Chinese knock offs of Gibson hand made custom shop guitars - worth many thousands of dollars and a proud USA manufacturer with family owned business history going back over 100 years.
Now they have to compete against cheap Chinese knock offs that even employees at Gibson would have trouble telling apart from the real McCoy item.
There’s so many of them imported and sold in the USA now that they are Nick named “Chibsons” (ie Chinese copy Gibson’s).
And when the Gibson company is driven into bankruptcy and all those manufacturing jobs are gone (replaced by Chinese Uigar prisoners under slave labour for 2 bowls of rice per week, the USA government will do nothing to protect its citizens or its manufacturing industry, its jobs it’s economy by placing sanctions on China & all Chinese made products. 🙄👎
Biden really is the dumbest and worst US President who ever stole an election.
If your not going to change that then you have only yourselves to blame at the end of the day.
Swag Off-road will get his own comeuppance one day when the Chinese have copied his product and are selling it into the USA via Amazon at half the price he is asking.
It’s a b!tch when your Karma backs up over your Dogma.
@@ianmoone2359 - you may be correct about some Asian culture ethics. I was told by a man who would know, that some Asians consider it proper/acceptable to "get-one-over" on a customer, regardless if they are foreign or domestic - it is not an ethnic hatred as you imply, nor does it show "their intellectual superiority over the westerners - when they can 'put one over' on the round eyes". It is simply part of a culture. I suspect there is a Chinese, Taiwanese, Japanese, or some other Asian language word for the practice.
As far as Biden being a dumb, worst, or a bad POTUS, you are far too simplistic. He has a long history of lying and getting away with the practice. He, at this point has suceeded at getting elected as POTUS (a long term desire), while campaigning from his basement, in his pajamas. That's dumb?
The fact is that Biden is the GREATEST socialist POTUS, EVER. He is greater than
Woodrow Wilson, F.D. Roosevelt, and Obama. The socialism marching order, job one - two steps forward, one step back.
Biden is a willing victum of elder abuse, being used by his wife and handlers as a means to an end.
Who cares! Seems like a lot of crying over nothing….
I do. And many others as well if you read the comments and look at the likes. No crying anywhere except by the people that complain about me sharing my experience.
Thank for pointing this out it’s a shame that they lied
Thanks Bro from Australia Down Under.☝🏿☝🏿☝🏿☝🏿☝🏿☝🏿☝🏿☝🏿☝🏿☝🏿☝🏿☝🏿☝🏿☝🏿☝🏿☝🏿☝🏿
I understand your concern and would love to hear the other side of the story from Swag. OTOH, the fact that they sent out a non critical part that showed no attempt to hide the origin of makes me believe they're just dealing with the supply chain issues most companies are. The way I see it, they found a good ratio of quality/value/price. I have a few of their products and they perform great for my needs. I'll still buy from them.
I agree for the most part, and will still buy from them as well as stated. Although I have pretty much switched to all Rogue at this point. That being said, as mentioned in the video several times the Chinese part was not that big of a deal and was not the reason I made the video. Others have commented that the Chinese part has been included since 2018/2019 so Swag has always shipped them even before the supply chain issues.
