Prices make it tempting but I'd rather keep my money here in the U.S. (JMO)

The money you keep in the U.S. is probably being outsourced anyway for the product. I am sure a bunch of us would be astounded by where the products actually come from that are from the U.S. I have used HF power tools and hand tools and for the price their not bad for the DIY set. Mind you the harder you are on anything the shorter life span it will have. I prefer my Craftsman sets as well as Mac but for those occasional use items like pullers and seal picks you cant beat cheap!!!

The way the sentences are written, I don't understand. If you are saying that you would prefer a Husky over a Pittsburg, remember, Husky has been made overseas for a while now (at least 11 years). Stanley lost the lawsuit to the ftc, because they were advertising their products as made in the USA, when they weren't. This was proven with all their brands (Mac, Stanley, Proto, Husky, etc).

They lost the lawsuit to the FTC, because someone noticed the shipping boxes said product of China, and R.O.C (republic of China), not made in the USA like their ads.
