After the medical bill he now tries to find tools made in the U. S. He even tried to buy three of my socket sets.

Been there done that. When I was first married and broke, I bought the cheap tools as it was what I could afford. I was at the junk yard helping a friend get some parts for his car and had the 12MM split on me and while I didn't break my hand, I sliced it from my knuckles to just past my wrist. No stitches were needed, but after tetanus shot and everything else, I learned a lesson.
