90's Devilbiss Air Tools Info? Made in?

[Gore]

I have a mid/late 90's set of Devilbiss air tools that came in a kit. I tried to find the country of origin but ultimately I couldn't. I did notice that my sticker says Jackson, TN...and then later stickers have the added "Made in China" added.

So what say you GJ...where was it made?

Black plastic case with impact, air chisel, die grinder, and 3/8" air ratchet with some sockets and other misc for the tools?? If so i have the same kit and it's make in China based on the quality. I've used the **** out of the die grinder and it's still going.

Sounds like the same kit...the sticker change is throwing me though

I worked in DeVilbiss' Toledo application lab back in the '80's. At that time they made their spray guns and Sears air compressors in the factory next door. Not long after Champion Spark Plugs divested their DeVilbiss business unit, the new owner moved the DeV production to Jackson.

I remember these tool sets, and can confirm they were sourced in China.

Just to complete my story, ITW ended up buying DeVilbiss and merged them with Ransburg, and later Binks. Today, The Carlson Group owns these brands. It was a wild ride at times!
