My skid steer forks.

I took this picture at work today of the tools I was using. No coincidence here

I am a "Buy American" kind of guy. I figure we are in this together, and when I'm buying goods I'm going to support a fellow American if I can.

This ramble was started by ITTR's SK ratchet thread. I started wondering how many wrenches and hand tools were still manufactured in the USA.

I wasn't aware that SK Tools as we know it filed bankruptcy, but were bought up by a bigger company and their quality is pretty much where it was in their heyday.

I actually found several brands still made in the USA, so I can still buy wrenches.

Lucky Strikes were made not far from where I grew up, in Reidsville NC. That place was humming until about 25 years ago. CLOSED

I was raised on a tobacco farm about 25 miles north of South Boston. It was booming in south boston until about 30 years ago or so. Times have changed

I got a '99 GMC Sonoma this year for a little cheap on gas go getter. I want to do a few "sport truck" touches on it. Since the insides of the muffler decided to come apart on me, it was time for a new cat-back exhaust. I ordered up a Gibson kit... Made In USA

**DeadheadNM** · 10-30-2023, 11:17 AM

Good deal.

Saw these US made cattle prods the other day.

Not new but when Craftsman was one of the best out there

**DeadheadNM** · 01-12-2024, 12:22 AM

New pants. Cheddar poisoning.

**Steeveedee** · 01-12-2024, 12:35 AM

Not sure what "cheddar poisoning" means...is that an autofill issue?

Most likely a Wisconsin thing. Maybe means made in or from WI? I'd like to know, too

Sorry, an obtuse way of saying I’ve been eating too much cheese and need wider pants

72c20customcamper · 01-22-2024, 10:59 AM

Picked up a Dustopper for my Shop Vac pleased to see it was made in the US

**leddzepp** · 01-22-2024, 11:46 AM

Waterway is the only swimming pool filter manufactured in the USA, they also manufacture water filters for Navy submarines. The warranty is twice that of any other brand. Pentair, Hayward, Jandy, etc are all made in China.

**davischevy** · 01-22-2024, 12:49 PM

Hole saw. Global materials.

72c20customcamper · 01-22-2024, 02:29 PM

The Dustopper works great . But for my use I’m going to have to adapt it to a 55gallon poly . Filled up in a few minutes with the planer but no chips on the floor
