I always suspected that although the packaging, and the manufacturer was the same as fairly reliable brands, the merchandise from Walmart was inferior. I have had hose reels give up the ghost on a yearly basis, the same for shoes, drills, etc. Now when I shop I look for " Made in Canada" or "Made in U.S.A." but just last week a friend said that the carton may be made in Canada or the U.S. but the contents may actually be made somewhere else.

Their treatment of employees borders on slavery and really should be exposed by some reliable source and printed for all to see.
