So my question is ARE there any decent American made tools of this type that are also affordable?
I'd rather buy some good used tools that were made to last than new under engineered cheap garbage. Wether it's made in the US, China, Taiwan, or my moms house, if it's crap it's crap at any price.

1956 GMC 370 dump " 'Tater "
1970 VW Volksrod "the Black Bomber"
2007 Chevy Avalanche
2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk,
2005 Harley Davidson FLHTCUI

I dig all cars, old and new, whether they were hammered out of American iron, German steel, or Japanese tin cans. Being unable to appreciate them all is missing out on a world of great things.
But thats just MY opinion! :P
