Nope.
I remember seeing the big-box stores suddenly having ONLY Chinese tools — there was no period I recall where you had American and cheaper Chinesium side-by-side.

Big box stores aren’t the only stores. Stores that big can dictate terms with factories. So I can imagine they would be one place with 100% turn over from one factory to another.

I don’t buy tools but the stores I frequent certainly had American made items side by side with Chinese. At least for a time.

Try finding a tool with a power cord on it.

Or one that runs on gasoline.
