z3po asked: I have just bought a 24 volt cordless drill for 83 usd and it seems to work great.
But I’d like to know why a drill with the same features in another brands like Milwaukee or Dewalt are far more expensive.

Quality, I know of people who have been seriously injured from Chinese tools. Very unsafe for serious users, but if you’re gentle with it, it might be okay. Merry Christmas!

Chinese manufacture things in large numbers and so their cost of manufacture is less. So they can sell less. Chinese Government also gives lots of tax rebate for export. Hence you get cheap. But they compromise on quality and durablity.

The manufacturing of items is alot of items is very cheap alloyas well as most parts they use like wire etc in sweat shop where kids.
For one thing on chinese made there.
For thier forced servicesthere is alot of blood and young people are literaly forced into slavery to manufacture these itemsand with very cheap alloyas well as.

Thats the key words, just bought, I have had my 18volt dewalt for about 3 years, batteries are still strong as ever, for the average home owner, you probably will be satisfied though. Like most things in life, you get what you pay for. Just my opinion.

First of all, Cost/Price here in the US as well as globally, is driven by demand. Brand Names as Icons, become favorites, in some measure because of Hype, and certainly experience through how a brand performs and how long it lasts.
The other answers here are valid, certainly, but many components of Brand items, are also manufactured or assembled in Asian countries.
With no offense to American made (I am), We would be in a slightly lower level of technological evolution, were it not for certain Asian nations.
One answer offered a clue,,,Quality. The Chinese aren’t strictly to blame, and mass production occurs in every industrial society, but more importantly, Quality “Control” is lacking in some Asian markets. Then WE in this country are at a disadvantage when the “Chicago” 18 V cordless stops working. We aren’t totally without blame however. The planets population is, in general, a “throw away society”
My “Chicago” now rests at the bottom of my lake.
I just answered a similar Q within a couple of days ago.
I once worked for a defense contractor, as a buyer for hardware and software, for a night sight device on helicopters. I was shopping the components and happend to return to one major supplier in Japan.
I sent an inquiry, stating that my company, and the Govt. demanded no less than a 94% success rate.
The company responded,,, “Certainly we can fill your contract, on time, at your budgeted cost, but we have a question.
What should be do to create the 6% failure rate you suggest?”

JUNK, like everything else that comes from there. Why would power tools be any different?
April 22nd, 2010 at 10:10 am
