    Possibly, the Gentech is a indifferently made piece of Chinese mass
    production that is produced solely to reach the bottom dollar price
    point and the Smith is a precision tool made with exacting quality
    standards and controls. If you feel comfortable running flammable,
    potentially explosive gases through an item with questionable
    quality control to save a few bucks go right ahead. I am not above
    buying Chinese tools and I don't have an ax to grind with the
    Chinese. Actually I am in awe of their past cultural achievements.
    But their current manufacturing processes control and quality are so
    wildly variable that I will not buy any precision tools from them. A
    cheap hammer, a tool that I need for a one time job or one that will
    be horribly abused maybe, but where safety, precision or reliability
    is important, no way will I buy Chinese.
