If you are not a professional builder, these cheap tools work well enough. A hammer that you use ever couple of months? Get the $3 one.

Guys who put a lot of use on their equipment still buy expensive, Made-In-USA tools.

I’m 70 and have been buying Craftsman since my 20’s. Also, inherited my Dads tools of which many are Craftsmen, I clouding power tools, all still work just fine. I believe Craftsman tools are made in USA.

I can relate to that. In fact, Harbor Freight is one of my favorite places to shop.

But I wonder...suppose the government got out of the way by lowering taxes and eliminating regulations. And suppose the greedy unions got out of the way, could Americans make hammers that were competitively priced?
