Let's make a list of all the Brands made in the United States Of America. I want to start a new wave of support for our family, friends, community, and country. The Good Ole USA! If they hate us so much that they are willing to kill our people with disease and then threaten to cut off our much needed medication, then it's time We The People fight back!... with our hard earned money. Let's make a complete list of things that we don't need to buy from China. If we make it here, then let's buy it here. Simple as that. Get the word out it's time to make a stand. Post it up. Product, Brand and where it's made. It's time we make a difference.
I thought Harley's were until I talked to my elderly uncle who owned a harley shop for years. I'll have delve deeper. Good idea. Lots of stuff is outsourced quietly
Snap On, Mac, Matco, Cornwell. Remember this when you visit Harbor Freight. Toyota & Honda with the caveat that profits go to Japan. Stihl!
This is the hard part. I went to rescue a log trailer 20 plus years ago. The ex driver stole all the tools out of the truck, and I had to flag down the snapon truck. Still remember. 27 bucks for one 7/16 box end wrench. I personally can't afford that, but would like to support them still. Maybe some massive deregulation can help them in the future. I will happily return
One thing to consider, there are a ton of used tools, wrenches and pretty much everything else that are great to use!
I get it for sure, especially stuff you may lose. I've spent a ton on Snap On tools over the years & the quality & warranty is there for sure, but it ain't cheap! My son & grandson will still be able to use them though, so there is that.
I have a led work light that is snapon. China. I checked SK. American steel even. I'm taking notes for Christmas gifts
they have factorys in india and brazil and somewhere in asia ,one reason was to supply the european market ,something about import taxes and ease of shipping ,i read something about it
i think klien is usa except for possibly electronic items ,channellock is made in pennsylvania ,lie-nielsen in made in maine ,and estwing in illinois
Good question. Almost need two threads. I'm not not trying to scre it up. I bought my kids chinese bibles and didnt know it. Daughter just brought it up. Didnt want to hurt my feelings
A lot can be learned from the UPC or Barcode on a product. For the most part look for barcodes that start with 00-19 (made in USA and Canada) and avoid items that begin with 630-639 & 690 -699 (China) List of GS1 country codes - Wikipedia Some loopholes described here. Can You Determine a Product's Country of Origin by Its Bar Code?
