My uncle is a parts distributor, and he buys out of China. Not all are created equal, same as in the States or Canada. You cannot judge ALL foreign products in the same category. You think when you buy OEM parts nowadays you are buying made in USA? Nope! Some items, but since BRP took over they outsource a lot of their parts overseas. Including……impellers! Not sure about all of them, but I know some are.
I also learned that not all items of the same Brand are equal either. Hope the Walton family is not reading this, but if you buy say a Dewalt screw gun at Walmart, its not the same Dewalt screw gun you would buy another tool supply store. Walmart has the manufacturers down grade internal components like electronics, bearings, and the like, to decrease the price they can sell for in their stores, to make money in volume.
I didn’t believe him, so took some tools apart to inspect. Sure enough, different internals.
