I use Harbor Freight.

Most of their stuff comes from China. It is not premium quality. If you need something for just occasional work go to Harbor Freight and buy it at half or less the price. If you need tools to make a living with buy high quality tools that will last. Oddly their wrenches and sockets and drives are not bad. If it is an electric tool it will not last as long as a quality and expensive tool. Items such as sandpaper, electrical fittings, chains, hoses etc. are no different than what you pay for name brand stuff and much cheaper.

The problem is... what do we do when there’s a war and we can’t trade with China anymore?

What do we do when the one country where damn near EVERYTHING is made now, becomes either an illegal source or an impossible source.

Remember, we don’t have to go to war with China for it to become unavailable to us. If there’s a war there - likely with China and NK on one side, and SK, Japan, Taiwan, Philipines and Australia on the other - then the transpacific supply chain will cease for a few years.

America MUST become independent of that damned country.
