What will really unnerve you is that the majority of tools now made by the big guys, ones that have their name on the side of top fuel cars, are now made overseas. Restructuring has literally taken out whole middle management teams. As a result, tool makers now outsource tool making to other American tool makers who in turn have the product manufactured in Taiwan and China. I cannot divulge any names, but I witnessed this first hand - I did counsulting work for the one of the Companies that is having the product made overseas. Basically, the big tool companies are nothing more than a name and a marketing machine now.
