Since I like to play with metal I decided to buy a new chop saw. I have always stuck with DeWalt and Milwaukee. Ater looking and comparing the two I found both were made in China or Taiwan. I decided to buy a Hitachi because it was made in Japan. I also recently bought a nice router but had to search to find one made in the U.S.(Bosch). I own 3 pairs of Double H boots, all made here in America, I just received a 4th pair in the mail that I decided to buy online, guess what? Made in China. Last year we purchased two new 2003 Dodge 3500's, 4x4, quad cab, Cummins turbo diesel etc.etc.etc.They both were made in Mexico. Even Carhartt is going across the border. For fathers day my wife purchased a new $300.00 Seiko dive watch, all previuos Seikos (3) I've had were made in Japan. This one though says "made in Singapore". Even the Japanese products are being made in China. Next time someone mentions "buy American", I'm going to reply "show me something". I just needed to vent.
