rooster7777 on Bosch 91-Piece V-Line Titanium Drill Bit & Screwdriver Bit Set $29.95 + Delivery ($0 with Prime / $59 Spend) @ Amazon AU

But didn't you just make the same point I was making? That "made in xxx" and "Country of origin" are interchangeable?

Okay but this is Australia so wouldn't we use Australian terminology and definition especially when it comes to advertising?
