Yep, not so much American Made anymore. Guess we should stop chopping up the metric owners.

Look around your house and see whats made in the USA. I would bet not much. The computer you are on in most cases not made here. Go figure

This is why I will spend time looking for what I want that is made in the USA although you cannot find everything you need made here anymore. I am more than willing to drop the extra coin to support my fellow Americans.

That's a hard line to draw considering many of our fellow Americans are gainfully employed by foreign owned companies based right here in the U.S.A. I'm all for products made by the good 'Ol U.S. of A., but man, it's more and more of a Global economy these days with very blurred lines

Well put and I agree, but I also agree with the DR; I like seeing that American flag beside parts when I am browsing though the parts books. Just like I choose to buy local as much as possible, then expand to people I like or who have helped me or I have done business with before.
Considering I have more in my sled than anything else besides my house, I guess I am very lucky to have one to play with
