Thread: Sutton Tools NZ

Good to see they are rebuilding the factory in NZ. I was worried Sutton would move the manufacturing to China.

I notice the stock of kiwi-made Sutton Viper bits is dwindling at my local Bunnings. Being replaced with Chinese-made Kango and Full Boar. Hopefully Bunnings will restock with kiwi Sutton when manufacturing restarts. Although they seem to be running down their stock of Australian-made Sutton cobalt drill bits too; which isn't a good sign.

I'm not surprised. Had a chat with one of their sales managers last month and he pushed the au/nz manufacture thing pretty hard.
