Snap ring pliers with a bunch of interchangeable tips.

Needed them quick when my old chinese pair broke and i grabbed the only ones available at a local discount store. For the 5 bucks I paid I would have been happy if they held up for this one job but when I opened up the old dust covered package at home I saw U.S.A stamped on them! I was amazed and they have held up to removing hundreds of snap rings with zero sign of letting up.

Dualco mini grease gun, made in the USA. Can be had for $8.00 whereas the knock off from HF or Astro Pneumatic is about $5.00.

I was extension cord shopping the other day and I was surprised to see at Home Depot that the 50' 14ga Husky is made in the USA, the 25' and 100' Husky cords were made in the Phillipines and the Task Force 16ga and I believe Ridgid branded 12ga cords were all Chinese. Pretty goofy, to my mind.
