Quoted: The EZ DUZ IT can opener. Remember that old can opener your parents or grandparents had when you were a kid? Chrome with rubber handles, worked every time. Was almost satisfying to use? That was the swing away can opener. At some point in the 90s or 2000s that company went to China and now is basically less frustrating to open a can with a pocket knife than the junk they sell as can openers now. The EZ DUZ IT uses the old machinery used to build the US made swing away from way back then. It can be found on Amazon for $10 https://www.steuby.com/can-opener.html View Quote |

Quoted: Hank’s Belts I have a Gunner on the way. Will report when it arrives. They make wallets too. ETA: they also sell replacement hardware like buckles, snaps, screws to keep your leather goods going for a long time. 100 year warranty View Quote Have had an 1.5" Xtreme from them for about 3 years now, has been good. I replaced the roller buckle it came with for a normal nickel buckle from an older belt I had, mostly because I hate roller buckles. |

Tagged....and pointing out that Taiwan is NOT CCP/Asshoe.
Buy American first, other countries such as Taiwan if American made products are not available. |

Went to Tractor Supply this winter to get a coat and they all had “made in China” labels, as I recall. Kind of pissed me off. |

Chase Harper motorcycle bags. Reasonably priced as well, hardly more expensive than chinese made.
A lot of Moen faucets are usa made. |

Quoted: Quoted: Tecovas have always been made in Leon, they've been upfront about it from the start. I wish they would do another warehouse sale here in ATX. Are they decent boots? Will they last? I'm happy with the ones I've had for 3 years, no issues and they're comfortable. I can't say the same about Ariat pairs I've had. |

Prison Blues, jeans and denim wear. They are all standard style, no hipster stuff but I have heard lots of good. Made by inmates in Oregon.

Of course anything made here is a good first choice, but maybe other countries other than china asshoe for electronics and knick knack shit. Japan, Taiwan, etc. At least until we can get a good head of steam going here on producing a much wider variety of products. china is asshoe. |

@BM-ARM-DPMS-guns
Some stuff is, some stuff isn’t. I only by the stiff made here and in Mexico. For instance their flex jeans are awesome and made in Mexico. I know the last couple of years they have been moving production out of Asia and to different countries. Have seen South America, Jordan, on tags etc. But yes I wish they could bring all production back. Hopefully with this China bullshit everyone will now and the people will actually support it. I go absolutely out of my way to try and buy only made in the USA. It’s a pain in the ass for sure and costs me more but I take pride in it! |

My Starrett micrometer stand is Made in China (with a Made in USA price point), and apparently no other Starrett facility manufactures that tool any longer. |

Double H boots
They’ve added another line lately that was, Chinese, I think. But you won’t accidentally buy them, the price is a dead give away. Copper River bags Not really my thing but my wife has one and she really likes it. Seems well made. |

Clothing/Footwear/Bags:
- Chippewa (some of their US-made boots were found to have Chinese components) - Redwing - Carhartt - Wolverine - Danner - New Balance - Darn Tough - Filson - Duluth Pack - Frost River Packs Tools/Power Equipment: - ChannelLock - Klein - Estwing - Echo - Stihl - Honda - DeWalt Knives: - Buck - Kershaw - Spyderco - Benchmade (Yeah, I know) - About 1000 other one-man shops Tires: - GoodYear and Cooper are the last US-owned tire companies, but they may still have some overseas production - Foreign-owned tire companies like BFGoodrich, Nitto, and others have some US-manufacturing It's tough to stick with 100% US-made for everyday stuff. Electronics and appliances are the obvious tough ones. But a lot of the big US companies have gone overseas, and even their supposed US-made stuff has a good chance of containing Chinesium whether it's major components or nuts, bolts, fabric, threading, or other raw materials. It pisses me off that many of these US companies have sent lines overseas, but as long as people buy it, I don't see them stopping unless they nut up and put morals above money. Sometimes the best I can find is "other-than-china" on some items. There are so many companies with mixed manufacturing, you have to look really closely at what you're buying to see where it was made. Some of the companies above may have products that are "Made in USA" but with major, critical components made somewhere else. |

https://isolatorfitness.com/pages/tour-of-isolator I use an IsoMini blackout as a basic lunch pack even though they are meant for fitness meal storage. It seems most fabric lunch bags and metal lunch boxes are made in China. |
