You might think that American-made tools have totally disappeared from the market. Big manufacturers like Black and Decker and Sears have shipped labor overseas, and many medium-sized American tool manufacturers have outsourced parts of their assembly lines. There are still a few holdouts who are taking advantage of high quality American labor and supplies. This list is in no way exhaustive. Please leave a comment below if you know of other American tool manufacturers. We'll feature your suggestions in another article.
