Everyone here has a good point,as far as I am concerned.The blame can be placed on the large cos. for wanting to get their goods mfg.cheaper,and yes the good old American workers are pricing themselves right out of a job.Gotta be a happy medium here somewhere.A little give and take.You cant blame the big cos.for wanting things made cheaper,because profit is their main concern.You cant blame the workers for wanting better wages.The heck of it is the imported stuff is just as good as the stuff made in the USA.As far as metric is concerned,I have had metric wrenches and sockets in my tool box for years.I need them to work on good old American cars,GM,Ford,Mopar,etc.
