I'm with you, I sick of everything made in china.  I'm doing my best to try to find things made in the United States of America. Paying a little more will pay off in the long run in more ways than we know. 

 Although my statement is kinda hypocritical on a British car forum.  
Yesterday I was reading bumper stickers while stopped in traffic, and it made me think that if I had a buy American sticker I might put it on my Yukon.  I hate bumper stickers on my own cars.

I was in Lowe's tonight and was looking at the tools as I usually do.  I 
noticed for the first time that the majority of the "Vise-Grips" they had 
were now made in China.  I ask a salesman and he said the plant in Nebraska 
had been shut down and the American made ones were in short supply.  In my 
old age I have just quit buying chinese tools (life's too short for junk) 
and now stick to American made ones.  They are the best in the world, 
overall, and even though they cost more, my grandchildren will still be 
using them 50 years from now.  I bought the last set of "quick release" 
American made Vise-Grips they had.  With these two new ones, the other four 
I have should be the last I need.  If you feel the way I do, then you better 
pick some up before they are all gone.   Whats next, Channel Loc?
