#6 'made exclusively for Home Dept' - i.e., plastic gears in all its screw guns & drills. I have a thirty year-old Craftsman drill; there's none of that shit with this one.

China is probably laughing as it sends the replacements.

#8 I've yet to see a Hampton Bay product that was not Made in China and I see a lot of Hampton Bay products at Home Depot. I know that somewhere in this country comparable products are being made but you have to search all over the Internet to find them because you'll never see them at Home Depot.
