    Maybe they will bring a reason to buy craftsman again. For the last decade it's been why pay more for the same chinesium junk when I could get the same quality at harbor freight for less money.

    Sears short sighted craftsman and took any reason I might buy craftsman away. It used to be I went there because I could get an American made tool for reasonable money.

    I do my own car repairs, and I do commute to work everyday (allot of truckers dont). I own allot of tools. I have usa made older craftsman and harbor freight. I have NO foreign produced craftsman

    Do they make anything like this? It would be nice to find something that uses mesh and is 35mm and hold's 18mls of juice that's made in USA, but I haven't had any luck so far.

    The cost is not the most important thing to me, it is the quality.

    Make America great again by producing the highest quality products.

    Cherry Motors had planned on opening a plant here, next year. I wonder if those plans are still on track. Content law dictates autos,” Made in USA”. Must be over 50%. Mustang-51%. It’s a Global Auto Market. Each manufacturer makes enough for each Market, mostly in the target sales region. The only argument left, is the destination of profits. Motor oil is made in USA, even Honda’s own brand. McKee’s Rocks Pa. every brand imaginable. Probably more refineries out there, making it. But I saw it in person. Every brand.

    You see that in a lot of industries. I use to haul loads of paper goods (TP and paper towels) out of a Georgia Pacific plant in Oregon. All of the different brands made under one roof.
