I have recently noticed “Made in USA” tools for sale at Lowes, with brand names that had previously been exclusively on “Made in China” tools. The USA stuff seems to be of better quality, with a slightly higher price.
“I have recently noticed Made in USA tools for sale at Lowes”
Lowe’s is now handling Craftsman Tools ( used to be an exclusive with Sears). I just looked, and they are being made in four plants here in the USA. Sears is heading into the $hitter, so I guess they had to let the brand go as an exclusive. And isn’t it funny how Sears ( and Montgomery Ward) were ahead of their time with catalog sales, but failed to get into internet sales, which should have been easy for them, before they were shut out by Amazon and others.
