Yeeek! HOWEVER! How many times have we seen a really nice neat shop, (clean floors, nice neat tool boxes, neatly dress mechanics, accommodating staff etc) be really lousy when it came to fixing your airplane? For me the most accommodating and right on the money when it came to diagnosing my engine problem, was some south Georgia kid in a T shirt, beat-up jeans, who was working on a crop duster, that looked like it had been ridden hard and put away wet.
I've always found manufacturing (assembly lines and such) very interesting. None are ever laid out the way you think factory should be. There appears to be no order to them at all. The only place that seem to have any order at all is the final assembly line and even than it can get confused

My advice to this Chinese factory boss, owner, whatever, is to at least clean up the chips and stuff off the floor. (I bet there no recycling program or EPA inspectors around). I think these plugs may be good enough for my mower though.

Yea right, that's exactly where it started in the good ol USA. First clean up the chips, then fire extinguishers and checked every year, grease recovery, paint recovery, oil recovery, tire recycling, eye wash stations, first aid, wheel chair ramps, safety glasses. I was in the automotive/motorcycle business, it was endless, OSHA to the rescue.
Each and every cost passed on to the consumer, prices went up, stress went up, everything went up. Then just as now manufactures started falling, Triumph (the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world in 1970), BSA, Norton, Husqvarna, etc. It was the Japanese then and now the Chinese, and its our own fault. Just how damn safe do we have to be anyway? When will you say stop? When they tell you flying is too dangerous for you and people on the ground? They have already done that to some extent, and to us, no flying over congested areas, no flying into Class B.
So it all starts with someone with some suggestion to make YOUR life safer. Isn't that really your decision to make?
Just my opinion, have a nice day.
