Funny how good things come to an end.
Sweden had Bahco. Best tools you could ever get and lifetime warranty. No matter if the damn screwdriver was 70-years old, you'd get a new one if it broke. But it never did break, that was the whole point.
Now on the other hand. It's all chinese made shit. Still cost a fortune and the quality is absolutley horrible. It is truly a very sad sight.

Gotta give Hifi equipment to Denmark.
Dali, Bang & Olufsen, Audiovector etc.
Gotta say, I absolutley love my Audiovector QR3's.
The Danish don't know much, hell they don't even know how to count properly, but they can make loudspeakers. That's for sure.

They only work about one in three times. Surely, that is not best quality.

If it were anti-aircraft guns, you'd probably have something. So long as they are only used for their 'justice' system though.

Since every other manufacturer/competitor wants to shut them down I thought they must be the best in the business.

The world is thankful. more successful results from their remotecontrol assassinations... but for someone that found himself walking through the very same airport arrival hallway just days after it happened & nobody knew yet what poison was used... hmm... too close for comfort.

Yemen has the best frankincense.
Saudi dates are best IMO.
