Hey y'all, Mike here from All American Reviews. Today I'm talking about how to find tools made in the USA. I'm going to talk about how to spot tools that are made in the USA, my top picks for American made tools, and make sure to stick around to the end of the video where we'll be answering some frequently asked questions. I've also written about this exact same topic before, so check in the description below for a link to that article. And if you're passionate about buying American made products, please like this video, subscribe to our channel, and make sure to head over to allamericanreviews.com. We got a ton of research and buying guides on how to find products that are made in the USA. First up, let's cover some tips on how to spot tools that are made in the USA. Similar to many other industries, the tools industry has suffered a large production shift overseas. Companies are attracted by cheaper labor and materials, but quality often suffers as a result. We consistently see the materials like Chinese steel are significantly weaker than the same materials that are produced in the US. We simply can't rely on international manufacturing to get the job done when it comes to making quality tools. Look for companies that are not only assembling their products in the USA, but are also sourcing all of their raw materials domestically. Yes, they are supporting American jobs in our economy by assembling the products here, but their footprint on our American economy is significantly diminished when they are not sourcing all of their raw materials here, like I mentioned earlier, quality of materials often suffers as a result. Make sure to check that label as well. Look for made in the USA language and watch out for those qualifiers like assembled in the USA or made in the USA with global materials. I have a full video and article on how to find products that are made in the USA, which I have linked to in the description below. So if you haven't checked that out yet, please do. Now that I've covered how to spot tools made in the USA, let's get into my top picks for American made tools. Now I can't cover every single tool brand that's made in the USA in this video. So be sure to check in the description below for a link to my full article on tool brands made in the USA. We keep it very up today. First up is channel lock tools. Channel lock tools is a manufacturer of really high quality hand tools, specifically pliers. They were founded in 1886 and are based in Pennsylvania. Channel lock makes everything from tongue and groove pliers to lineman's pliers to long nose pliers and a ton of other tools. So if you are in the market for pliers, check out channel lock tools. Next up is council tool. Council tool focuses on making axes and hand tools. Coincidentally, they were also founded in 1886 and are based in my home state of North Carolina. I personally have their Jersey Classic Axe and love it. It's made with 100% American Hickory American steel from a 100% American based workforce. Next up is S-wing. S-wing is also a hand tools manufacturer with a particular focus on hammers. They were founded in 1923. They're based in Illinois. I'm a fan of their nail hammers personally. I have an S-wing claw hammer that I use for projects around the house and really like it. They also have a ton of specialty hammers for roofing or drywall or any other project that you need. So if you need a really high quality hammer, make sure to check out S-wing. Next up is flange wizard tools. Flange wizard makes tools specifically for welders. They've been around since 1981 and are based in California. Now I'm not a welder so I asked my buddy Andy and his engineering team at work to check out flange wizard. They do a ton of really cool product development and they gave their seal of approval. So if you need welding equipment, check out flange wizard tools. Next up is Kodiak cutting tools. Kodiak cutting tools makes tools that are specifically for machinists and metal workers. More specifically, they make end mills and lots of them. They have a huge product catalog so if you need drill bits, end mills or other machinists equipment, make sure to check out Kodiak cutting tools. And the last tool brand I'll cover in this video is lumberjack tools. Lumberjack tools is pretty much what it sounds like. They make amazing tools for building log furniture. They produce tenon cutters which are basically just giant pencil sharpeners for logs, locking tools and these really cool wood burning stencils where you can burn patterns into your woodworking. Anyways, if you're into log furniture building, definitely check out lumberjack tools. Now let's finish up with some frequently asked questions. First up are craftsman tools made in the USA. And the answer is that the majority of craftsman tools are no longer made in the United States. They have a few tools that are still made here but the majority of their manufacturing happens in China, Taiwan and other countries now. I have a full article breaking down where craftsman tools are made which I've linked to in the description below so be sure to check that out. Next up are Milwaukee tools made in the USA. And the answer is only some of Milwaukee tools are made in the USA. They have four major manufacturing facilities in the US but a large portion of their manufacturing now happens in China and Europe. I have a full article also breaking down Milwaukee tools and where all of them are made so be sure to check that out as well. And finally are the Walt tools made in the USA and the answer is no, not all the Walt tools are made in the USA. They have a small line of tools that are assembled in the USA but pretty much all of them are with global materials. I have a full article breaking down to Walt and where their tools are made so be sure to check that out as well.
