Yes but PTD mean nothing to me. This drils does not look Brazilian made.
Here most of the drils are Irwin, Dormer, Bosch...and this kind of companies always proudly put her logo in the stuff that they made
the cheap ones always come from China.
With Brazilian cost I thing is almost impossible to compete with China in US market.

I'm not quite confident with that, there are many companies in Brazil exporting and getting tax refunds. The odd is that we in Brazil would pay at least 3x to 5x more for the same drill bit.

A couple of weeks I seen a guy in Brazil who bought some fuel injectors in USA for his Volvo. It was 1/3rd of the price in Brazil with import taxes and shipping costs. Once he opened the surprise "MADE IN BRAZIL" by Bosch...
