I'm gettin ready to start a new job and I have to buy some tools so I was in Sears last week looking for items I need. I found that many of them are still made in the US, but a lot of the sets, esp. the fancy ratchet end wrenches, are made in China. Of course anything made out of plastic or rubber seems to made offshore, but when I looked at labels on the hand tools I was suprised how much they sell that is still made here. Like ya said, it's good to read the label before you buy.

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
