The tool market is constantly battling counterfeiting—so who is manufacturing, selling, and buying fake products?

Standard products from some domestic brands—such as common drill bits, taps, and carbide inserts—pose little technical challenge and are often the targets of counterfeiters’ shoddy manufacturing. In regions like Jiangsu and Zhejiang, as well as in Hebei, many small enterprises and even family-run workshops adopt this approach: they minimize costs by using inferior materials—for example, low‑alloy high-speed steel in drill‑bit production—or by refurbishing scrap tools, thereby reaping exorbitant profits. Some even affix the trademarks of well‑known brands to boost sales; for instance, a tool factory in Jinyun County, Zhejiang, was once found to be mass‑producing counterfeit cutting tools bearing a prominent domestic brand name, along with thousands of labels printed with the counterfeit company’s name and address.

Slitting machine blades are crucial machining tools in the cutting and manufacturing process.

Cutting tools can be classified into five categories according to the type of workpiece surface being machined. Tools used for cutting wood are referred to as woodworking tools. These non-metallic circular blade materials enable slitting machine blades to cut at higher speeds. In 1898, Taylor and White in the United States invented high-speed steel. The earliest documented account of the invention of the twist drill dates back to 1822, though it was not commercially produced until 1864. As early as the 28th to 20th centuries BCE, China already saw the emergence of copper tools such as brass cones, red‑copper cones, drills, and knives.
