Estwing no longer using Trusty Cook?

Really bummed when I saw this at Home Depot (replacing TC ones). Guess I'll have to keep going straight to the source

I noticed that their sledges are no longer US made either. I snagged the last one at my HD in a sea of Taiwan sledges.

Their website says proudly made in the USA since 1923. It specifically says on their website the 45oz. dead blow is made in the USA. http://www.estwing.com/db_estwing_deadblow_hammers.php That is not right.

Uh oh. I've been a big fan of these hammers for years. This is not good news.

Estwing. Best. Hammers. Ever.

When I'm in any tool store or tool section in a big-box store, and happen to walk past the hammer display, I have to stop and salute the Estwings. Makes me want to buy one every time.

Now, if they were only available in red.

Ugh. Is nothing sacred?

Damn, that's no good. I'll get on updating that on the equivalents thread.

Estwing only makes a small amount of stuff here, they've expanded their lines quite heavily with Taiwan manufacturers. They also bid lowest to secure distribution at Home Depot (whom kicked out Vaughan which is all USA) so it shouldn't come as a surprise to see more import.
