Sadly, that ship has already sailed pede. If you actually want to do something about it you should be building as much self-production and small scale production capacity as possible, regardless of the country of origin of the components and tools that you need to do so. To fight the Great Reset, you're going to have to counter it with the Great Bifurcation, wherein we operate an economy separate and apart from the giant corporatist sellouts that hold sway today. That means building capacity and capabilities at all levels. It also means that we have to kill some of the messed up ideas about how our economy is supposed to work. Some of it's going to be great, some of it is going to REALLY suck. Things like planned obsolescence is probably not going to be missed by that many people, but it's going to be really hard to give up disposable plastic goods.
So, if you need a tool, buy it now even if it was probably made in China. (Even the stuff billed as "made" in the US is usually only assembled here.) If it serves the overall purpose of allowing you to operate more independently, then it's a net positive. I already have most of the tools I need, some of them are relics from a time when America made industrial equipment, others are Chinese junk that required a lot of tinkering and modifications. Buying classic American tools is a pleasure, but that stuff is getting harder and harder to find, and consequently more and more expensive and ironically enough some of it is in China, they used it to kill our manufacturing plants.
I spent a bunch of money getting every possible thing I might need to maintain all of the tools and electronics in my workshop right before the election (ie spare motors, switches, microcontrollers, laser tubes etc). I got up this morning and ordered common spare and replacement parts for all the appliances in my home too. They're basically all Chinese, but that can't be helped at this point. My point is simple, get what you need now so that you can effectively wage a boycott later.
