Then you must not shop Amazon either, because even half their brand name stuff is chinese knock-offs.
No more Harbor Freight?

Years ago I bought a grinder from Harbor Freight. That was my first and last purchase from them forever. I got it home, set it up, turned it on,. and it was 'so powerful' you could stop it with a bare hand.
Add to EPA:
Unions
Lack of tarrifs
Govt over-regulation
High Taxes
Unskilled work force
….. thats just the short list …..

I started to tinker and wrench on cars etc more so in my 20s when I moved to AZ. There wasn't a job to be had around home and my sis invited me to AZ to hopefully start my life. Found harbor freight and with their lifetime warranty on tools it was great. I actually have not needed the warranty very many times over the years. I still have and use those tools some 25 - 30 years later. I don't use them often but they are good enough to do the jobs I have.
I was also lucky to find a pawn shop in AZ that yielded a ton of craftsman tools which I also still have.

I am a Milwaukee fan but they are Chinese too.I buy quite bit from HF . I use a lot of air tools and you can't beat them for the price . And I use them commercially not hobby jobs . I have found their drill bits and sawzall blades to be as good or better than Milwaukee or dewault .

I know we are talking about tools and such.
What about Cars, or SUV's? I drive an American sports car. The rest of the family drives Hondas.
I used to drive a 2000 Honda CRV. I sold it,
I know the owner, it now has over 200,000 miles and still going strong!
They last!
Back to tools, I have a lot of SK tools.
(made in China, Taiwan, Colorado Springs, Colorado, and Sycamore, Illinois America)
that were handed down to me.
I assume my tools were made in the USA since most of them are 50 + years old!
They also last!
Wake up America! Start building things that last.
Just look at refrigerators they are made to breakdown! YHY??

I have a set of Herbrand offset box end wrenches that belonged to my dad. USA made. Some of the best wrenches I own. They must be 60-70 years old. They were made just down the road from where I live. Been out of business for a long time now.

And Tricky Dick started it with his "ping-pong diplomacy".
Seventy-six+ years ago, my grandfather used to keep me under control by sitting me on his lap and letting me play with his vise. I started crushing my toy (lead) soldiers in it.... He had to teach me some proper respect for tools and toys. I still use it today and remember the old guy daily p.s. he wasn't a super nice guy, but he had some cool tools... we called him Senor Granpa.
MADE IN THE USA.... probably the only tool that I have like it:

Harbor Freight - or "Hazard Fraught" as my sick sense of humor labels them - seems to be doing OK. They just opened a store at the Lake of the Ozarks, in the old Lee Mace Ozark Opry building on the Osage Beach parkway. Lebanon got one just over a year ago.
They've got some good stuff, but I tend to prefer shopping Menards to HF or Home Despot - excuse me, Home Depot. Although if it's a tool you're going to use once and then misplace - which seems to happen all too often - then you might as well buy from HF.

There is NO WAY Do It Best is as big as The Home Depot and Lowes Home Improvement.
Local. See? I have Walmart, The Home Depot, Atwoods, and the highest priced store for general items there is ... Tractor Supply.
Ya'll please need to remember there is no Ace or Menards everywhere. But there is a The Home Depot or Lowes somewhere close-ish to most.

I like that manual chain saw but it is a little too expensive for me.
WTF?!?!? I actually had to go look... what in the holy hell is a manual chain saw? California legal?
It wasn't until the 3rd look I saw it was a joke ad.... I am firing on all cylinders today...

I was thinking that my neighbors would love for me to have that manual chain saw.
