    Just found a set of 5 used tires for my truck (because I can’t afford new). Goodyear Duratracs. Been running them for a long time now. Molded on the sidewalls.

    Had a belt shift on a trailer tire a few weeks ago. Goodyear Marathon's used to be made in the USA but even these are made offshore now.

    Cost me twice as much as the offshore made competition, but I got a set of "Made in the USA" Carlisle USA Trail .

    New Balance 993 are my go to, everyday, get around shoe. Light weight with a durable sole is kind of a big deal for me. Luckily, some friends have family who work at the plant out east and they buy several pair for me every three/four years at employee pricing.

    I found a little tool shop locally that only sells U.S.A. made tooling so he is my go to for expendable stuff like drills, taps, endmills or inserts. Kennametal is made 20 mins from here.

    We are trying hard to avoid anything from CCP.

    They are getting sneaky with trying to cover up where things come from...one item I looked at the other day said it was made in PRC (people's republic of china) don't recall seeing that one before.

    I buy a lot of my tools from Harry Epstein, they pride themselves with carrying made in USA tools. It’s unbelievable the difference in quality, even something as simple as c clamps. They have an impressive inventory, wish I lived close enough to see the store. HJE Home American Made

    I am in the process of replacing my cheapo multi pack of torques and metric/imperial allen keys with these well built and convenient Canadian Made Picquic screw drivers.

    Seems firewood,bar oil and chain saws are not the only thing I've been hoarding lately. Picked this one out because of the sticker on it. Fair price, looks well built.

    Wilde Tool used to make screwdrivers, punches, and chisels for Craftsman. They never longer have any contracts with them, but now make their own branded tools just a few miles from home. www.wildetool.com

    thanks for sharing! I will be ordering some for Christmas gifts. Good fruitcake is harder and harder to find which is a shame.
