Sorry but I don't agree with you on that point. It was not the consumers that made the companies move overseas to get cheap crap. It was mostly unions and greed for more and higher pay all the time. And as for the tools being cheaper, around here they still cost about the same, just aren't worth a darn. On that point I agree and I try to find anything I can that is made in the U.S. and not china, Taiwan, or Korea, but it is getting very hard to do around this area. I have always preferred to pay a little more and get quality than pay for junk.

Ron, I think this is an older generation thing.
I'm the same as you. I will pay more for a quality product everytime. If you buy something that is cheap, chances are you will not be satisfied with it. You will always be thinking, why didn't I pay an extra $$$$ for what I really wanted.
The few times I did buy something cheap, I either gave, or threw it away to buy what I really wanted in the first place.
