What's Made in America? Tools and Companies [2022]

Made in the USA tools and equipment have always been a hot commodity, we wanted to take stock of what's actually made here in America and celebrate the companies who are putting American workers to work. There are two problems with that, of course. One, we can't possibly include everybody, and two, the rules keep changing regarding when you can actually say a product or tool is Made in America.

I love made in the U.S.A. tools, but I hate how companies "pimp" the flag through some loop hole in the laws. Mainly DeWalt cause they charge a premium price but all they do is add stickers and clamshells together in the states...

I was waiting for 14:05. Malco is seriously the most promising American tool company we've got going. I hope they can grow into something massive in the coming years.

Last week I needed a new drill, I went to Lowes and looked at all the drills they sell. DeWalt, Craftsman, Ryobi, etc, None were made in USA. I might as well try some Harbor Freight tools. What really annoys me is, US companies having tools made in China, then charging top dollar for them as if they were made here with higher paid labor.

I was a carpenter for over 50 years. This goes way back in the day when everything was nailed with hammers. Framing, sheathing, roofing, trim. I had a whole line of Estwing hammers. Used them for everything including as pry bars. Wore the tines down on some of them so far that I couldn't hook the head of a nail with them. But in over 50 years I never managed to break one.

Makita. Buford, GA. My Makita 18V LXT Biscuit Joiner was manufactured there.

Some Made in USA or Canada cost more. Some people don't want to pay more so they look for the lowest price.
If we want products and jobs to stay in the USA and Canada, we will pay more. I am okay with that. Companies move overseas in order to survive.
People are their own worst enemy buying the lowest price products.

Shouldn’t be allowed to state “made in the USA with global materials.”

It should say “packaged in the USA” so we can mark the price up 5x.

S.K. Tools has just been sold to the Chinese, not sure if that includes all of Ideal Tools? It's a terrible shame, because I Love my SK Tools.

[subsidiarity]

The bad news hidden here is that brands here are actually Chinese owned - like Milwaukee, Rigid, and SK tools. They're subsidiaries of 'parent' companies

Good video, really interesting hearing about all these USA made products and companies that I haven’t heard of before. For sure will check out a lot of these manufacturers thank you sir

[everettleonardjr.]

Marshalltown company ( formally Marshalltown Trowel) been around since 1851. Marshalltown company owns Vaughn among others like Walboard.

[jonweber]

I just looked at power tools today. Most of the Dewalt tools are made in china. The china made tools have their 'made in china' stickers under the battery. 1 or 2 were made in mexico. And a couple were made in USA with global materials. If there was a brand that solely made their tools in the USA, I would buy them.

Lodge makes cast iron cookware using US steel and iron. They are located in Tennessee.

For those questioning and claiming that US doesn't know how to make things last... Voyager 1 has been working for the past 45 years working non stop. Anything from your country last that long? Some countries don't even last this long. I buy US made stuff whenever I can afford 😜

[RCPSU]

MTD also owns the Troy Bilt brand in addition to Cub Cadet. It's interesting to see which companies really own the brands we have.

Great video as always, guys! There is one made in the USA company that I am a fan of that wasn't mentioned and that is Columbia River Knife & Tool (CRKT). Their knives are high quality and are reasonably priced. Thanks again for the video!
