If you are truly tired of “made in China” then you should never step foot inside of a Walmart store again. Same goes for MANY products sold at warehouse stores such as Costco and Sam’s club (relationship to Walmart noted).

Are you kidding, it's not just the huge stores. The Mom and Pop stores carry the same stuff.

I was in a fair sized “True Value” hardware store the other day. I asked the buyer to estimate what percentage of the products in the store were made in China. He thought for a few seconds and said “about 50%”.

Of all the crap found in hardware stores now, none angers me more than parts that used to be made in metal that are now made in plastic. Weak, easily broken, they strip...forget it.
