Default Radum

Lynn is quite correct, all Radum products are made in China! For that matter, so are most everyone elses too.

I have bought several items from them in past. Sandblast cabinet, parts washer, etc.. You have to pick your item and examine very closely for build quality. I am extremely pleased with the blast cabinet. Parts washer could be better built but it works without problem............yet. Watch out for items which are complex design or build. Things got rushed through, as it would when you get paid by the quantity you build.

It's not always complexity that brings China manufacturers undone. The above flaring tool came from Radum (via China) and this is how it looked after the FIRST trial flare using bundy tube. A worse job you could not imagine, and the tool itself must have been made of cheese! Just very poor materials and dreadful attention to detail on this one.

Caviat emptor (or however it's spelt)
