What is the meaning of this? I am a huge fan and big customer of Lee Valley/Veritas, but have to say I was "fooled" and am a little sick at the moment. I don't appreciate receiving a forstner bit marked "made in China." I guess I should have read between the lines, but sorry, I have never been suspicious of LV and therefore skimmed right over "Made exactly to our specifications, these bits took over a year to develop and refine" without mention of the manufacting location or material origin. I don't appreciate smooth marketing like that and would not have expected it from my all-time favorite tool and hardware retailer. They could have at least said on the website "imported."
