The machines, which were being tested in a few warehouses in recent years, are able to scan goods coming down a conveyor belt and put them in custom-built boxes a few seconds later.
The machines can pack up boxes at a rate of 600 to 700 per hour, or four to five times as fast as human workers, according to Reuters, which first reported the development.

I think the more accurate statement is: the main problem with Chinese tools that they export to the US is that the steel is soft, because the biggest and most profitable tool market in the US is a bunch of Harbor Freight lovin' cheap ass redneck hypocrites.
Just like Mercedes doesn't really only make expensive luxury cars, they just project that image into the US with the subset of their products they export to US, the Chinese know which side their bread is buttered on. They know how to make good tool steel, they can and do make good tool steel when they want to, they just don't even bother trying to sell quality tool steel for US import because there ain't no way WalMart is gonna pay the required premium.
I used to tell myself I didn't care about how much storage was on my phone, didn't care if it took an expansion card or not. Today, I wouldn't consider a phone with less than 64GB storage unless it also has an expansion slot - which virtually ALL the phones on banggood do, even in the sub $100 category.
Too true, if you happen to find a cigarette lighter bluetooth to FM converter down there, be sure to pass the link this way...
