A lot of their cast valves are failing inspections over here, and the valve rebuilding shops are "balls to the walls" these days rebuilding good old USA valves. A failed valve could wreck a chemical plant or refinery. Are these parts made in China?

Those iron workers are very brave. Luckily no one died in Texas. Looks like the same sized crane that collapsed at Miller Park

I bought mine after a respected seasoned crane op knocked me and my crew off a 12 foot wall. This accident has more to do with quality parts and assembly procedures though.
