Re: Accurate Digital Thermometer NOT made in China?

I have this Braun thermometer (see photo), the Thermoscan 6023. It is made in Germany. The sleeves are made in USA. Mine is now an outdated model but I saw that there are also newer models in circulation that are also made in Germany or made in Mexico. There are also Thermoscan thermometers that are...

Lifehammer safety hammers

Many of you will know the Lifehammer Classic. This product has been produced in Holland from 1983 to the present day. But… almost all of Lifehammer's new products, such as the Safety Hammer Plus, Safety Hammer Evolution, the torch and window cleaner are made in China! So beware, if you need a safety...

Re: Wüsthof Solingen factory tour

Solingen has long been known as the city where the best knives and scissors come from. I can't remember anything else, even as a child most of the knives we had came from Solingen. When it comes to scissors, there is of course another icon; Fiskars. This brand is also quite loyal to its home country...

Wüsthof Solingen factory tour

Very nice page of the brand Wüsthof from the German City of Blades Solingen . They still produce all of their knifes in Germany. Look at the factory plan with videos about each process, really nice. https://www.wuesthof.com/en-nl/company/manufacture/ https://cdn.wuesthof.com/thumbnail/57/47/18/15799...

LED light bulbs

Again a product that is practically impossible to find. In a very short time, China has completely taken over this segment. Until the beginning of this century, Philips lamps were produced in the Netherlands, later this became Poland, but for a few years now it is completely produced in China. Not o...

Gauze pads

Unfortunately, I have increasingly noticed that gauze pads are coming more and more from China. So be careful when purchasing gauze pads. Also, many professional manufacturers increasingly choose to have gauze pads produced in China. Here are some examples: https://www.medischeartikelen.nl/wp-conten...
