I went to Sears with the hope I'd find US made stuff too. All the socket sets and wrenches were made in China. I walked out with my money in my pocket. I talked to someone there and they said no one will pay for the US made stuff now. I said I'm standing here with my money in hand, don't I count? Their reply was the stuff made in China has a life time warranty (which to me is the same as saying one use) and then bring it back. I said that would be fine providing my time was worth the same per hour as the guy who made the tool, however.....given the fine quality of most products made in China, and their attention to quality control, think I'll just spring for the US made stuff. Yeah, it cost more, but when I factor everything in, the cheap stuff ends up being just way too expensive!
