I just traded in a worn out rose clipper (Cratfsman) at Sears and got a Made in CHina pair in return, chews up the branches rather than cuts them off, piece of crap.

Interesting ... and disappointing. Are your new clippers "Craftsman" or "Companion" branded ... the latter is ChiCom crap, should be called "Comrade".

I just spent several hundred dollars at Sears, buying Craftsman brand tools for my shop. Screwdrivers, wrenches, tap& die, files, pliers, dykes, balldrivers, etc. All Made in USA.

No rose clippers, though.
