Milwaukee tools are made in China, and owned by a Chinese man. The only tools now days that are not made in China are Festool some Dewalt drills and perhaps a few others. I will take tools made in Japan and Taiwan all day long over China. I hate most of their products. Most of it is junk.

Pretty much why my axes are vintage ... Vintage Keen Kutters are good steel. I also have a vintage Keen Kutter chisel that is good steel. Here's a current version of an old American brand, Snow and Nealley:

Trust?
Anybody that trusts any company today is a fool.
There are brands that I choose. Due to reputation or experience. But them because we have to buy something. But i have little confidence.
There aren't any brands that you can be certain will give you a perfect product.
Or totally make it right if they don't.
There are a lot of tools and equipment that i would rather have old stuff than new. Durability, and designed to be repaired is the attraction.
In the last year I have put about $300 into fixing our washer and dryer. Maytag from the 1990's. Nothing outsourced, everything designed to be repaired. Guys at work made fun if me. In 10 years I will need to replace the tub bearing again. $120.
If they bought a new machine last year, it would most likely be junk in less than 10 years.
Trusted Maytag 30 years ago. Not now. I hear ya. Our 5 year old LG dryer had a drum bearing lock up the day before Christmas. Most parts on LG's website were out of stock. Nobody locally was any help as they wanted to sell service (which I understand). $40 online for 4 new bearings, tensioner/pully and a belt, and a few hours of my time and it's back up and running. Part are off-brand of unknow quality but the Wife wanted it fixed el-pronto. It does get a lot of use but my folks are still running a 30 year old Kenmore dryer.
