[QUOTE="Rob Timmerman, post: 214626, member: 172"] Many (but not all) models of Red Wing boots are made in the USA. Klein Tools makes a bunch of their stuff in the USA as well, as do Channellock and Elkind. Leatherman makes at least some of their products in Oregon, as does Gerber Some of the Pelican products are made in California There's still quite a bit of manufacturing in the US. Choice of manufacturing location is almost always driven by more than just labor cost - things like supply chain (both for the raw materials that are used in manufacturing, and for the finished products), quality control, and tightness of integration with the associated R+D center are all factors, and offshoring (or outsourcing) production isn't always cheaper.
