Dave,

I too look at the labels and I have paid more, sometimes subtantially more, for the USA made stuff. Unfortunately, it's getting harder every day, because some of us can't see past our wallets and don't give a damn about repercussions, so long as it saves them a buck.

In the end, this will be our undoing.

What sucks is when you pay a premium price for USA tools off a tool truck with a no hassle warranty and when you have to warranty something they give you an offshore replacement saying they no longer make the tool in the US. I don't know what more to do to stop this... we do our part but just aren't enough of us willing to out bid places like Harbor Freight. That being said I just added a set of mid-depth Matco 3/8'' drive impact sockets to my 3/8'' impact drawer for 225.00.. made in USA stamped on 'em. Northern Tool and Harbor Freight has a deep or shallow set in 3/8'' drive for about 20 bucks, but they aren't made here.
