Imported Goods controversy
There is still much controversy about whether or not cheaper imported goods are of quite the same quality as the ones made here in the USA or once made here. When it comes to tools, some maintain the cheap imported tools are made of metals either too soft or improperly heat treated. Others argue that although some Americans may have suffered 'temporary' losses of income when the local factories laid them off so the manufacture could take place in far away lands, the over all benefit to the consumer outweighs the local economic setbacks and the overall quality of the tool is not lessened. These folk maintain they feel the same confidence holding a tool marked made in XXXX as they did holding a tool bearing the Made in the USA stamp.So someone went to a local Walmart and purchased a crescent wrench which was not made in America. Surely this new lower cost tool would give every consumer confidence their new purchase was the equal of the older tools.
