    Nice piece right there.
    They are proud of them price wise but I could easily see why.
    That could be tempting for sure !!

    Helped parents install an insert a few weeks ago. I took my magnetic thermometer over because I knew they didn't have one. FF a week and I'm missing that on my England's. So off to TSC I go to get another, I believe it was a Rutland brand they carried. No longer in stock and have to order online. :picard: So I check Amazon and low and behold, I find Made in USA ChimGard! :dex:

    It was actually cheaper on Amazon than to order from them direct (free shipping did it). So I passed on $10 chinese ones to buy the American made for $24. :handshake:

    2 weeks ago, when my daughter was home from college, she needed an oil change. Being below freezing out, we took her car to my interlock shop to change it in a heated shop. 3/4 of the way there, I realize I forgot an oil filter wrench. So we stopped at a parts store for one.

    I haven’t read all the posts but Klein Tool and Channel Lock make a lot of their tools in the USA. And I’ll post a picture of a tool I bought that is made in the USA

    I wouldn’t expect too many American companies that make electronics anymore.:picard:

    Be careful with some Amazon items. I thought I bought a "Made in America" 10 1/4" Lodge cast iron pan on sale several weeks ago. Clearly says Made in America but once I ordered it, I was informed it would be several weeks for delivery. On further investigation I found the pan was sold by fushanqumenlouzhenyongfangshangdian (say that 3 times fast :confused:) and shipping originates in China. I canceled the order.



    Ironically, when I tried to share the link above via email, it somehow changed to this in my drafts o_O.

    Couple years ago, wife's Jeep seat developed a tear so we bought a repair kit. I had to break it out again because I must have pinched my truck’s tonneau cover while it was rolled up. :(

    Is this flexible? I tried to glue a rip on my faux leather couch but it dried stiff and quickly lifted up again.
