Made in the US hedge clippers

[allinon72]

Needed a pair of hedge clippers...went to Menards who has a lot of USA stuff. All China. Lowes - all China. Went online, still can't find any. I guess hedge clippers have totally gone overseas?

I thought for sure some gas powered Weed Eater/Poulans were made in USA. Eh. Maybe they aren't now, I haven't had to look at them in a long while.

Mark's Choice makes a pair in Canada. Halfway down this page here:

Canadian Tire lists a pair of Fiskars as Made in USA, but CT has been known to have old/outdated info on their pages:

If you don't mind buying a set from Switzerland, Felco is who I'd recommend.

Echo? I know they're owned by Yamabiko (Japan), all the Echo stuff we have is assembled in USA.

Though Echo does not make manual versions.

and Bahco, and Sandvik. There have always been great European pruners, but I've never known any great American ones. Sorry, this is nothing new.
