They can be bought at Target cheaply enough. It's no Sharp or Samsung, but the "Assembled in the USA" sticker tricks my brain into thinking it's the most high-def thing I've ever seen.

You have two options if you want a US made abrasive saw, depending on what is important to you. IMPORTANCE OF LOW BUDGET: The 14'' Makita is Assembled in the USA of mostly Japanese components and US materials. You can buy it on Amazon for like $170. IMPORTANCE OF HIGH QUALITY: I went with the...

Electronics can be challenging because you have to make compromises. First of which being you're pretty much only going to get assembled in the USA of parts mostly from Japan and Germany (few people know that most of the guts in your electronics are actually Japanese, China doesn't actually...

Any tool I buy, I try to make sure it's what I research to the very highest quality, best made, best warrantied one. That means if you put every single tool I own in a huge pile, the pile would be 95% USA, 4% split between Germany and Japan, and the last 1% Canadian and Swiss. Positively 0%...

Use a small screw extractor. You can also grind down a dremel cutting disk until it has a very small diameter and put a notch in the head of the screw enough to facilitate using a standard blade driver to turn it out.

The chatter around here with the justifications for buying knock-offs and clones makes me sick. Where in the hell are the principles anymore? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

I've been a fan of Leatherman for a long time, even though I ******' hate multi-tools. They make the Freestyle™ which is just a 2.5'' or so blade (1/2 serrated) and a pair of pliers. All fits in a nice little package with a pocket clip. Lifetime warranty, US made, I really wouldn't be without it.

Ratcheting end wrench with no moving parts? Pretty sweet. What's everyone's favorite domestically made brand of these? I need to get some. Just my opinion, but why reward this behavior by giving them your money? A lot of people complain about cman sending more and more of their storied...

I wish. This is the multimaster top kit, $299 at sears, I used a coupon and saved the sales tax.

The LG is the American made original. The Werner is the cheap chinese knockoff for undercut prices. Yeah, you should have paid more for the LG.

I lolled.

Such a discouraging attitude.

That thing is literally trash. Like, empty McDonalds bag with old wrappers and congealed ketchup levels of pure dumpster trash. Why you'd even want that in you life I can't figure out.

They're made in China, aren't they?
