    I'm hoping that we can develop a solid list of American made products that professional drivers might use on a regular basis.

    Chippewa boots come to mind, as do Snap-On tools.

    The problem is people want lower cost. Businesses no longer use american labor as the cost is too high. There are other factors, yet this post would become political. Politics arent allowed here so I will refrain

    There's absolutely no reason for it to become political. Granted, implicit in the question is your willingness to probably pay more for a specific product. You either are, or you aren't...I don't care. Just trying to identify US companies. Everyone is free to spend their money as they see fit.

    How is naming products that are made in the US by a US company political?

    The thread's intent is aimed at identifying companies who exclusively operate/manufacture in the USA.

    Just like Paccar is US owned but built everywhere else in the world.
    Every other US truck is not US owned even if its built in US.
     
    Coffey Thanks this.

    Ok. Good luck with that. Not gonna be a lot of them that are exclusively made only in US. Maybe it will change in future. We can hope.
