Sears Steals American Inventor Wrench Idea and Then Makes Them in China

It's not some jingoistic patriotic move (wiha and felo are german after all). I just want good tools made from good stuff.

I wish more people had this attitude. Craftsman's tools maybe lower quality than before, but chanting "U-S-A, U-S-A" as if that was some magically incantation doesn't make me sympathize with people who have been disenfranchised by the slip in quality.

Just because something is made in some location, or some brand, doesn't mean it's good or not good.

Remember https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZEgluZJpBM ? In that scene Doc can't believe the Japanese are making anything of quality, yet for Marty, everything of quality is Japanese.

There could be a time when Chinese tools are the best out there.

For all we know there could be some family of tool-smiths way out in the mountains somewhere in China making wrenches out of pure unobtainium-alloy they mine and refine themselves using ancient techniques, but they only sell them to local farmers to fix their tractors.

TL;DR: Don't rip on something because of where it's made, rip on it because of the low standards it adheres (in relativity to the price to the price)
