King Canada Is actually made in CANADA!!!
According to my dealer Morley Miller from Morley Miller machinery In St.George Ontario. Check it out with him at his store or whenever ther it a woodworking show in Ontario He's always there. Recently bought a table saw from him. Wow. Makes all those Major mass produces products at the hardware/dept stores look like toys an for a much better price too! I like their products!

I have a King router, and I've been generally pleased with it. It is my first and only router mind you, so I don't really have a good comparison to other brands. The two year, over the counter warranty is great. Just had a collet replaced, no questions asked.

Last summer I picked up a King Canada 135 piece Rotary Tool (dremel tool) for $20 as a promo from a CO-OP store. The price is not a typo $20 is correct. The threads on the body (just past the collet) are the same as a Dremel tool allowing one to use Dremel fit accessories, always a nice touch. Mine has worked very well and I'm actually surprised at how much power that little sucker has for its size.

The only complaint I could possibly have is, the King ID and spec stickers are peeling off. Wrong adhesive or incorrect preparation before sticker application? Not a big deal IMHO when it doesn't affect the performance or usability of the tool.

Shop around and should be able to find one for $99.
Used my new unit for a recent project and liked the feel etc.
Have 3 King tools and not been disapointed so far other than instructions to assemble etc. They are horrible.
Product OK

Hey: King Canada is not made in Canada. I use to have a tool outlet and sold King Canada products. They are offshore but good quality. I have a king tablesaw kc10rc, king drill press, jointer, duct collector, powerfeed. Some like the table saw and drill press are hitting 10 years old and are still running daily. I didn't carry their power tool line as I gave up the business just as they were coming on the market. Seen them at the local hardware store but can't give my opinion of them. As for their industrial line I haven't had any problems with the tools I have. Sold a lot from their Industrial line
