Most all tools are made in China now, If I have no choice but to buy crap from China, I'm buying it at the cheapest price often at HF.
It was a sad day when I exchanged 2 craftsman ratchets with USA right on the handle at sears and got back crap from China. Both didn't even work when I went to use them, I had to go back and exchange them for another pair.
Was in the market for a new toolkit last month, and while it was a bit annoying, I did check every single brand to find made in USA. I almost caved an bought a made in Phillipines one! Not because it was cheap, but because I was beginning to think I wouldn't find a US one.
For the most part it is all cheap Chinese tools. I shop there for things that I could not afford from more reputable brands.
