So where are people buying American made tools now that Sears is going out of business? I realize they haven't made them in America for a few years, but they did. Most of my Craftsman tools are made in the US. If I ever have any warranty returns, I'm going to likely get made in China stuff.
Home Depot, harbor freight and Lowe's get most of their stuff from China. I suppose I could go to a swap meet, but those tools are pretty beat up. SK makes good stuff but it's expensive. I've bought a few Proto tools and they seem good. What does everyone else plan to do? |

I was told that Kobalt tools sold by Lowes are made by Snap-on. Not sure if the are U.S. made but I like them.

I was told that Kobalt tools sold by Lowes are made by Snap-on. Not sure if the are U.S. made but I like them. I have also bought some Kobalt tools, which I like. I was recently looking at some of the Kobalt pliers I have: Made in China. Lowe's offers a lifetime warranty, which I haven't used, so can't comment on how they honor it. Lowe's does have some good sales on tools if you check periodically. |
