Rubber dog crap. China has always been too hard to compete with on that one. It's about the only thing they exported before Bill Clinton's reign.

Bought a 19" Zenith at the Navy Exchange back around '92. They closed the factory after that. Had a big Made in USA on the box. That's the last one I heard of.

USA made crockpot.
But a bounty on it for Slumlord.
He’s goes to all the estate and yard sales.
😂😂 I’d pay money to see Slum & Rene jewing Folks down st a TN yard sale. 😬 JamesJr is looking for the cast iron colored fellow with a fishing pole. Slum, be on the lookout. LOL ! I actually know where one of those is.

The redfield 4-12 on my grandpa's 30-06 is a US made one. The rifle was made in Germany. An old Weatherby

I priced an ignition switch for my Polaris RZR 800. The online Chinese versions run about 15 to $20. The OEM switch from the local dealer is an even $100 more, $116.

Or, Polaris. Either way, I'm just not seeing the Chineese rip off a proprietary switch. Just not enough volume. Also find it hard to believe Polaris would use a switch that costs that much more if it's available off the shelf. Are you sure the OEM is really made here?

You never know where they're made. The switch I looked at had Polaris on the wrapper but who knows where it was made. I just know that I would be paying $100 for that wrapper.

Don't get me started on Sawzall metal cutting blades and phillips bits for battery powered drills. American brand names don't mean anything, Country of origin is Dinky land, with a lifespan measured in minutes.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

A Weather Tech Cup Phone holder a couple years back when they only sold them factory direct because people were scalping them. I called them and got the recording that my call would be answered in the order it was received. "Please wait, there are 324 callers ahead of you" Say what? Click.
My other auto is a .45

And just imagine how long goods and replacement parts would be available if trade with China were shut down. "Gone in 60 Seconds" time.

American brand names don't mean anything, Country of origin is Dinky land, with a lifespan measured in minutes. I’ve had good luck with the USA made Milwaukee sawzall blades. I forget what “model” they are, but the higher end blades.

At this point, I doubt that we have the manpower to return all the manufacturing to the US even if everyone went back to work. We consume far more than we have the capacity to make.

Chippewa snake boots. Even if you can find stuff assembled here, they often had to source parts or materials elsewhere. I do mean had to, 'cause the stuff just isn't made here anymore.
There are more people employed in government than in manufacturing in the US today.
