Cool video , Modern Marvels/History channel. A tad long - 41:48 run time.


I am looking to buy any American made New Balance sneakers for my next pair I buy.

What ya got? Please post any 'Merican made products.

My biggest disappointment was that the Mag7 Skill saw is made in bloody China. There is hardly a wood frame house on this continent that did not have a Skill saw on site during its construction. Ya could almost say that it is the saw that built modern America. And it is now together with the Bosh counterpart made in the same plant out of Chinesium.

Makita still sells nice power tools but they are pricey.

And made in China

Some of Makita power tools are made in Japan. You have to do research on it. Makita seems to care about country of origin. I'm sure you can find Chinese Makita tools. They may have a homeowner lineup that you are seeing. You have to shop @ industrial supply houses to double check on COO. I have been pleasantly surprised @ Makita's corded drills being assembled in the USA from Japanese components. Like I said they're 2-3X the price of a Milwaukee Chinese equivalent. Just my worthless 2 cents.

I was recently in Europe for 18 days. Several days I looked for American brands. Saw Ford, Levi, Nike, New Balance, Apple, and not much more. These items were probably not made in America.

Examined my clothing items. Think my leather best is American made.

That's all we use at work, they will run circles around Milwaukee any day. The only thing I've seen better made by Milwaukee than makita is their 1" impact and grease gun.

Places like Wolverine shoes sells both imported and US products just priced few hundred dollars apart is all. LaCrosse imports cheaper made booth then before but still command a higher price then they did before. The foam material is weak and the liners are paper thin compared to the US products that they sold in the past.

The Cabela’s Octane series boots are imported but is all around better quality for less.

Hard to find anything U.S.A. made anymore, gotta shop hard to find it anyway.

They bought the old vise grip facility in DeWitt, Neb.

you guys complain about Chinese made stuff and lament the decline of American made stuff have nobody to blame but yourselves.

How many times did you go to the store and buy the cheapest item you were looking for?

How many time did you buy American even tho it was 25% or more?

Americans have no body to blame but themselves.

Nationalism when in the store is a good thing.

I bought some “my slippers “ from the my pillow guy. Great product but disappointed that they are made in Cambodia.

Agreed with everything you said. It's one reason I don't shop at Walmart. They sell junk and put good ma and pa shops out of business.

Exactly, all the woke folks who shop at Walmart

I don't complain about Chinese stuff. I didn't complain about Japanese, Taiwanese, or Korean made stuff. A good shopper always looks for the best value in price verses quality. It is irrelevant where it is made. The simple fact is American labor costs and probably regulations result in much higher cost comparable products. That will not change.

See, people generally are ok with slavery as long as its not near us. Asian countries seem to be doing the heavy lifting in terms of slavery this century. As long as there is a bare mininum standard, Americans in general are ok with buying far cheaper products because they will do what it takes to make it last. If they dont want to do that, our asian slaves can turn out 5-8 quantity of what it would cost to buy just 1 American.

Everybody wants china to buy our fur but the same people are against buying Chinese products, huh....

But they're not Chinese products. Many are American products. China just makes them for obvious reasons.

The best bet to get a product made in the US seems to be plastic items and some building materials.

Been a slave to many of my fellow Americans my whole life. I believe most labor in Asia is not slave labor. Some may be, and I don't care. It is not my country. I'm not trying to push my values on the world. BTW What's the bible say about slavery?
