Anyone notice Quality has gone down across the board?

I dont buy a ton of stuff, i try to buy stuff that lasts, and typically ill by the flagship or better of something i use reguarily.

But over the past year, ive made more returns/ warranties claims than ever before.

1. Just returned my 4th pair of redwing iron rangers. They all either had incomplete cuts, stains, or looked absolutely used.

2. Returned 3 seymour duncan guitar pickups last year, all of them were unevenly wound so you couldnt even fit it through the pickup ring

3. Pair of allen edmonds wingtips literally ripped open a week after purchase

Yeah I bought socket to replace one I lost earlier this year, husky brand so not some harbor freight garbage, and the first time I used it to change my oil the socket itself stripped. The metal just decided it couldn't stand up to the immense force being generated by me turning a medium size socket wrench. I've had that happen one other time with some **** off brand I bought at auto zone but never with a brand that i've actually heard of.

I busted out a crescent from my old craftsman set that's like 25 years old and just opened it. Wasn't even that tight tbh.

Nothing is built with care or dedication to last by skilled craftsman domestically anymore, it’s all by machine or some slave who doesn’t give a **** in Asia, probably deliberately **** so you have to buy it again sooner.

I’ve noticed of the three IPhones I’ve had, the first I had the longest and only had to replace because it got damaged, the others batteries and sockets wear down much quicker

Yes I normally buy my tops at Macy's and I've noticed this last batch have hems that have unraveled after a few months of washing, which is totally annoying me to waste this type of money.
