I know is was said in a post in a earlier thread by Cut4fun but Just a reminder the bars are made in Australia not China
I said some are made in Australia. Some are made in China. The GB pro top and the Ti bars are Oz made. All the others like arbor etc are China from my understanding.
Guy from Oz on my site. GB Arborpro and Arbortech bars I've used do seem to wear pretty quickly and definitely not Made In Australia despite the labeling.
Straight from GB to guy above. This is why you are seeing private label names with Australia on them that are China made IMO. (like that 24" bar here someone was looking for a tip for in a thread) WAG Qirui Tools do not and will not make GB Arbor Series bars. These bars and noses are stock left over from a failed partnership between Tom Beerens and Wang Wei Ming (owner of Qirui Tools). They set up a company and factory together to make consumer bars and for whatever reason they had a falling out. Qirui got left holding the stock and Tom has set up his own factory in China where he has lived for the past 3 years or so. Qirui has been trying to offload these bars for quite some time now.
