    Chinese cars are not sold in Europe, only because the industry lobby blocks them by not granting homologation, but they are already appearing, and the Chinese simply buy Western companies and do their own thing.

    That`s what they did when they bought Volvo some time ago. It is only a matter of time before Volvo cars will be 100% Chinese in technology and will be produced mostly in China. Fortunately, the quality of these cars did not suffer or even gain. Unlike this Celma...🙁
    Besides, going down with the quality of the cars would be a shot in the arm. While fancy drills can still be sold to customers, the situation with cars is a bit worse.
    And the Swedes probably had no choice, they were either threatened with liquidation of the brand (they already had experience with SAAB) or sold to the Chinese. Of the two evils, they probably made the right choice, Volvo cars are still on the road, they are still associated with a solid Swedish brand and not some exotic Chinese brand (Geely), and thanks to this there is some competition on the automotive market.

    There is another side of the coin.
    I wonder how long my colleagues can work with such an old, solid, uncomfortable and heavy single-speed drill.

    That’s why I use it occasionally only for mixing adhesive mortar, concrete, etc. It has worked perfectly in this role for years, it has the right speed and torque. There’s no chance of burning it.
    I do everything else with a handy Bosch which I wouldn’t mind using to mix concrete. Anyway, I don’t know if he could handle it.


    Shouldn’t a mixer be used to mix concrete and not a drill?
    Maybe this drill from Bosch, manufactured in China in the same factory as all other brands, wouldn’t work because it is used for drilling?

    I travel a lot around the world and only in our beloved country (which I value above all else) have I seen people mixing concrete with a drill. :)

    Out of curiosity, in which other countries is concrete also mixed with drills?
    I’m asking because I haven’t been to all of them yet :)

    I didn`t mix concrete with a drill, but I did mix two tons of glue for Styrofoam :P
    Then I got over it, and when I needed to mix sand and cement when installing paving stone edges, I bought a mixer, the Chinese Celma one, as I wrote above...

    Of course it should, but in order to mix a small amount of concrete in a bucket once a Russian year in order to fill, for example, gaps in the floor or sidewalk, I will not buy a mixer.

    In the past, mixing was done with a shovel, trowel or even a spatula. Now the dilemma: mix with a mixer or a drill?

Topic summary

The discussion centers around the Celma brand, questioning whether it has been sold to a Chinese company and if its production has moved to China, leading to concerns about quality. Participants share experiences with Celma tools, noting that older models from the 1970s are durable, while newer products, likely manufactured in China, are perceived as lower quality. Some users argue that the stereotype of Chinese products being inferior is not universally true, emphasizing that quality depends on production standards and pricing. The conversation also touches on the broader trend of established brands compromising quality by outsourcing production to cheaper markets, resulting in a decline in the reputation of once-reliable brands like Celma. Users express a preference for older, solidly built tools and discuss the challenges of finding spare parts for Celma products.
