Does COO of your tools matter

Country of Origin is very important to me and is one of the very first things I look for when I buy anything, not just tools.
 
There is one reason production gets moved overseas to places like China and that is cost, not quality. It's easy to take advantage of workers and who cares about the environment. Once the workers make too much money and/or China cracks down on pollution, the jobs will be moved somewhere else to take advantage of those people and pollute their environment. I have no desire to be part of that is any way, shape, or form.

And, lets not forget our $471.5 billion trade deficit last year. We have dug ourselves into a very dangerous hole. If we ever want to dig ourselves out, we need to stop shipping all our jobs overseas.
