I needed an air compressor for my garage a few years ago and went to Home Depot and Lowe`s .... both stores only had compressors made in China and/or Mexico . Went home and did some research and found Campbell Hassfeld , which is made in America . I got a reconditioned unit with a new unit warranty , cast iron block/cylinder liners etc on a 20 gal tank shipped to a trucking company near me for less money than the foreign crap at Lowe`s/Home Depot .... and bought American !
I have always tried to buy American first .... and can tell you some real horror stories about Mexican crap ( we had/have a Division in Mexico ) that got out into the field and why it did .... and the trouble it caused me .
I also check at the auto parts stores where the products are made and have walked out if all they had was foreign stuff and an American product was available somewhere else . Yes , I will pay more for American.
Cars ? ... all the electronic dashes/ radios etc for GM were made in Mexico .... I used to call on those plants .
