Made in the USA unlike their other tools that are now pretty much crap.
 
I was going to say... my t-bone says made in the usa on it.
So does mine, but it's from before the TTI buyout.

Most, if not all Rubbermade products, such as action packers, tool boxes, lunch boxes, and water jugs are US made.

Surefire, Peak LED, and Streamlight all make good quality flashlights in the US.

Dalluge hammers

Swanson Speed squares

Maasdam Come-a-longs

Lincoln, Miller, and some Century Welders

Smaller Stihl chainsaws are made in the US, their larger saws are made in Germany.

I try to buy North American when ever possible. Whether it's on my side of the border or south of 48th! One Canadian company I like to support is Veritas, sold through(and owned by) Lee Valley tools.
Awesome wood working tools!!
That is the why I feel about it. I have some stanley hammers made in mexico. Don't bother a bit. Unlike the stuff they have made in china. Pretty much any thing made in a Western country is worth it's money. I know my Stanley made in England combo square is much better than the swanson made in china ****. :thumbsup:
 
So it goes,,,upsetting & unfortunate. Just before Whirlpool took over Maytag, Maytag closed the doors on the mfg plant in Galesburg, Ill and those 1400 jobs flew south to Reynosa, Mex, obviously affecting those Maytag workers but a whole support network of local suppliers, local tax base and local services that previously provided things to those 1400 workers and their families. Thank God for Bill Clinton & NAFTA because now Mexico has hundreds of thousands of jobs that used to be OURS,,,WTF
Clinton did sign it into law BUT it was the great Ronald Reagan who thought it up, it was also pushed by the republicans in congress, The agreement's supporters included 132 Republicans and 102 Democrats. NAFTA passed the Senate 61-38. Senate supporters were 34 Republicans and 27 Democrats. Clinton signed it into law on December 8, 1993.
