Great another gear on e-bay thread, haven't had one of those in a while.
Contrary to popular belief things made in China are not all poor quality.
An expansion bolt and hanger is an incredibly simple thing, I.e. a bolt and a bent piece of metal. To manufacture is not difficult and can be done so in high quantity at relatively low prices. My only concern would be the type of bolt supplied, most have a double sleeve or a full length sleeve. These seem more suitable to masonry work.
Mammut bolts are only $5, fixe $3 and climb tech $2... a Metolius hanger to boot comes in at $3, $2 if you go for fixe or climb tech. You would be getting a bargain shopping elsewhere.
But of course they are far safer as they have a brand stamped on them...
