I bought a 31 piece drill bit, bit driver set from Chraftsman.
It says "Made in the USA of US and Global components"
I think what it means is that all the bits, drivers and metal parts are made in China, then they import them and have the sheltered workshop people put them in the plastic box., that way it is "made in American"
What a crock!

Ya getting sad that a person can almost not buy something made in the U.S.A. But guess that is the signs of the times and sooner or later it is going to kick us in the back sides

I bought a Red Hawk 36 inch mower. I think it was made in China, but had to be assembled here for some kind of tax break. I know we used to sell lumber to Japan. It was shipped out to international waters on the west coast where they sawed it up and made products to sell back to us. Less taxes that way.

I just bought some heater hose at the local auto parts store and was shocked to see made in the USA printed on the side.

Ah but the sooner or later I am talking about is the same one that happened back in 1941 on Dec 7th and back them Japan was pretty much doing what China is doing now. Mark my words China will throw back a lot of that metal in the forms of bombs one day

Advice on China Made "Just suck it up and OPEN UP YOUR WALLET".Just complaining wont fix the broken wheel. As Obammma would say, I HOPE this helps. LOU.
We did it to ourselves, we want clean air and big buiness to pay a lot of taxes. So they move out of this country. Thank you green people. We have clean air and no jobs. And we have brought a lot of unwanted things in this country because of it. Emeral ash bore, Zebra mussel, Asian carp, just to name a few. JMO

old,
I don't think they will have to waste bombs or throw any metal at us - have you tasted some of the so called food they are sending us, like the dog food all they have to do is give us a poison tell us it's fortified vitamins after that we get the active ingredient. Why blow up all our pot holed roads.

PX sells craftsman tools now and they just shove "made in china" right in your face......... cause it's stamped on the tools.....
Just looked at a box of autolites I've had around 4 or 5 years and it also says made in china........Still run better than anything else in my kia and the dodge stratus we used to have.....
I hope this is not blown away and please don't shoot the messenger but it follows the thread.
I remember when Nikita Khrushchev made a visit to this country back in the sixties he made a comment to the effect Russia would not have to defeat us that we would do it to ourselves. With that that thought I went researching for his quote. The one below is as close as I found.
""I once said, "We will bury you," and I got into trouble with it. Of course we will not bury you with a shovel. Your own working class will bury you.""
