Well Denny and Brett, I see both your points but explain this to me , Round House Bibs/Jeans in Shawnee , OK who makes everything from bibs to jeans to denim hats etc , has and is American owned and operated and has been since the 1890,s. To keep prices competitive and quallity up , they have no retail outlets and therefore sell over the net. I bought 2 pair of their high quallity denim bibs last year for $ 55 delivered to my door. Exact same price as TSC wanted for their China junk with old familiar names and actually theirs would be more because I had to pay no sls tax on mine. My dilema is this , why is it that people who own computers will STILL go to TSC etc and buy the China junk and pay more and in turn do their part to drive a company like Round House out of bussiness? Americans are lazy , inconsiderate , spoiled and apparently have way too much disposable income. Their actions ,and sometimes lack of , pretty much tell the story. They are also just putty in the hands of a good marketing campaign. Every one of the old well known brand names in bib overalls are made in China and most sold at TSC and people fall for it. This is just one product in a million but it makes the point.I am an American also, but I believe we are our own worst enemies and we need to reallize the "good ole days" are gone (overseas)It's their turn and they are going for it and so called American companies are riding the wave with them.
Round house has proven that we can be more than competitive in manufacturing. It is all the middle men and retailers that drive the price out of sight. A million people could read this and 900,000 would still go to TSC and get their denim , and then complain in the coffee shop about their wrenches being made in China now.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point ... [Read Article]
