Buying American tools

[Gordon Maney]

Check the label. Some are imported, most are still made here.

Same with Redwings and Carhartt's, many are now imported.

Drop them ALL an email and say "Hey, what are you thinking?"

Let them know that the only reason you bought their products was because it was Made in The USA.

Great idea.

We got 2 pairs of Vise-Grips replaced last week at the local CarQuest store. The ones we had were badly worn out. Both the replacements were US made. We also picked up a set of screw drivers, their top of the line with hardened tips, so far they have done ok, but have not really been tested on a difficult disassembly project as yet. Good screw drivers are tough to come by, I'd love to come upon a good set of MAC or SNAP-ON from the 50's or 60's.

The best screw drivers I've found are from Klein.

They make some good side cutter and plier tools, too.
