You may be able to do it. Some of us may only be able to try to do it. I needed a 12V insecticide sprayer yesterday ALL I could find are made in China. Not something I can do without.

Went looking for a piece of light equipment at Titan Tools. Not available, sold out, fabricated in China. May be able to go elsewhere but at higher cost though the chicom imports keep prices down.

Without the chicom competition watch price gouging send prices to the moon.

At least “do it as possible”. I understand but the concept is more important than being absolute.

Then STAND UP and be an AMERICAN and build one. Does it really need to be electric or could it be a pump up pressure tank and still spray whatever You need to ? (I’m not trying to put You down, it’s constructive criticism.)

Get a plastic tank (a 5 gallon bucket up to a plastic trash can, a cheap 12V Fuel Pump (1-4 psi or if You gotta have a badass unit spend the bucks on a Fuel Injection Pump that will give You 30-50 psi at the Autoparts Store, xxx feet of Fuel Line, some clamps, sprayer handle like a Kitchen Sink one or a Fitting to adapt a Garden Sprayer for a Garden Hose. I’m guessing that You already have a 12V Power source If You don’t already have any of these things.

It’s more than likely chicoms stole the idea and probably a set of Drawings/Blueprints from AMERICA anyway. They cannot come up with an original idea for Damned near anything themselves...

Sigh yup. I've always preferred Made in America, but wasn't too anal about it. Now though I've been looking a lot closer into it, and it's difficult.

We just bought two fans, one for the living room and one for the patio. We found ONE company in these US making ceiling fans, and even then a lot of parts are sourced from South America. Matthews Fan Company is from Illinois, but the wife doesn't like their designs, and I didn't care much for them either. And, their entire product line is pretty much $600 and up. For a FAN.

I know Big Ass Fans is made in the USA, but they're industrial/warehouse fans, not really something for your living room. Apparently they have added a couple home fans to their lineup, but the cheapest one (with a light) is starting at $1399... WTF.
