Just read in a catalog the axe heads are now forged overseas then sharpened and assembled here.

We have used pallet racking made in China. We have had mixed results but we have had some items that we needed to stick a mag drill to that would not hold it. Because Chinese steel is not as pure as American made there are some significant drawbacks. If you are looking to store anything near the capacity of the steel definitely need to go American.

LL Bean shipped off about 6-7 years ago, sad, I think Land's End followed them just after.
Anyways, In my almost 1300 posts You find references to my rants about not being able to find US made goods anymore especially from TSC!
Here's some items I have recently bought US made:
Corelle dishes
Allen Edmunds dress shoes
Northerner Rubber boots (tingley went to china)
Kamik kids boots (both USA and Canada)
Baffin boots for me (Canada) I dont hesitate to settle for Canadian because they buy a lot of US stuff.
Juno recessed lighting from Lowes
Goodyear Integrity tires (I believe goodyear is still US owned. Anybody know any better?
Titan R-4s (1.5 years ago) Titan is very proud of thier US mfg)
Oil drain container from Autozone cant recall the name.
Whirlpool Gold gas range, dishwasher, microwave and fridge for the remodeled house.
Items I am considering:
Johnson woolen mills clothing for the kids
A cadillac SRX for the wife (used). The new SRX are a different Vehicle (mistake) and now made in mexico (bigger mistake).
Thanks guys for not getting hostile and getting the thread closed.

I've been coddling my nine yo Toyota Echo, anticipating the arrival of the first built in the USA micro car, the Chevy Spark. The Spark was due to begin rolling off the assembly line in Lake Orion, Michigan in 2011.
I just found out that apparently GM's decided to build the Spark in South Korea and export them to the US instead...Dang!

just wanted to keep a good post going.
I have spent years looking for and buying American made products. And not ashamed to do it.

My wife and I started a web site to help American families keep their job. But it takes the consumer to finish the cycle. American made products--->American retailer--->American consumer. WE can all help THE PEOPLE of America. Take a second to see where something is made.

Just bought a nice utility trailer made by Derco Manufactruring in Waupun, WI.
The Woods loader on my NH was made in Illinois.
Arctic Cat snowmobiles made in Minnesota.
Was at O'Reilly Auto Parts Sat, bought a 3pc funnel set, was surprised to see it was Made in the USA
