I like American made tools BUT... sometimes it is difficult to find something in DIY/home shop category. My DeWalt 13 inch planer is made in China as is my DeWalt impact drivers, drills, recip saw, skill saw etc. ALL CHINESE
I didn't know they were from China when I bought them. It is just hard to find cordless tools and shop tools not made overseas. Names like De Walt (De Wart?), Delta and Porter Cable do not mean MADE IN AMERICA.
You may be able to buy an American made socket set but where do you find American made wood working machines sized, much less priced, for the hobbyist/ homeowner/DIY venue?
Maybe I am ill or underinformed, after all I bought a 1 ton Dodge/Cumins truck thinking I was buying American and got a truck made in Mexico but I can't find American made tools in whole categories.
