Problem is, most don't even know what is made in China these days and what isn't. Look at Milwaukee power tools, now owned by a Chinese company and half their products are made in China. Most think Milwaukee is all American. Same with Ridgid. Manu of their tools are still made in the U.S., but many come from overseas plants. One of their newer tools has many of the internal parts made in China, but they assemble it here and make the casing and motor in the U.S.

It's a world market these days. People wanted cheap, Wal-mart gave them cheap.
