I need to know exactly what: "Made in USA or Imported" means. Does this mean I should cross my fingers for a "made in USA" version vs the "or imported" model? Lets just say I'm trying to support US jobs and our economy,

I doubt the country of mfr varies per item. The drill says US. The batteries are made in Japan. I bet the screwdriver bits are made in china. Its a quality kit, I use mine hard, since 2006, then It got stolen and I bought a new kit 2 years ago. I dont know what brand might be better.

There is actually a city in China named Usa. they get away with saying made in USA because it is made in Usa, China

Not made in the USA. If that's what you're looking for, you may have to make one yourself. In any case, I wouldn't buy another. My review is posted; had bad luck with 2 of these.

Hi, Yeah I don't know why it says Made in USA in description unless the box itself was a typo but I doubt that since it is not unheard of for a toy to be made in china. I know I did see Made in China on the box. Might be worth bringing up to Amazon to confirm or toysmith the manufacturer . I'm not sure who is responsible for the descriptions but the manufacturer Toysmith also has contact info on their website: "We want to hear from you. For general comments, questions, or concerns, please call 1-800-356-0474 or email us at info@toysmith.com." I hope this helps and you can find out for sure.

This is a US-born, but maybe China-built product. There is nothing purely US anymore. Well give or take a few exceptions. US-made products are too expensive, notwithstanding the unwanted immigrant (legal or otherwise) labor that helps bring down your costs.

Mine is stamped "China". Other reviewers have mentioned getting models manufactured in US.

Here's what I know: some parts are made overseas, most parts are made in the US, and the tools are assembled in the US. You should do your own research on this, but this is what I came up with and can't say for certain. Even if it is "mostly made in the USA", it is a quality tool that comes with an excellent warranty. I'm not dissapointed at all.

Thank you for your response. After I purchased I kicked myself because i did not check to see if they we're made in the US. It does matter America needs to buy within its own borders. Most things are made in CHINA!

I chatted with someone at the website, this was her answer; We have multiple manufacturers, so this can very from batch to batch where a product is coming from. ....... she said they have no way of knowing. So, for me, I'll move on to made in USA.

I buy American almost exclusively when I have a choice, but some countries are known for the best quality of certain things. I do like and buy German tools. The problem with buying Chinese and other Pacific rim items, is that they are made there because it's cheaper than other areas in the world. Why? The workers are exploited. I can't support that in good conscience. And corporations here that have abandoned the USA and produce generally inferior items to boost their profits is repulsive to me also.

I looked all over the labels and instruction books and saw nothing about where it was manufactured. Based on that, I would say it was made in the United States because, by law, if it were not made in the USA they have to so label it's country or origin and also say so the company of manufacture on the instruction book. If it were made in the USA they don't have to disclose a country of origin.

Im sorry that I did not look under it. Now I took a look under, and there it was written "Made in China". Im sorry that I first wrote that it was American. Tor Ole Rønning.

Thank you for your patriotism. I never questioned it because the ad says U.S. Armed Forces.......... I can't find any marking on the part but I found the box. The box says: "China". It does not say "Made in China". Just "China".

On the jaw lever is it written "SWISS MADE DESIGN ADN". But I'm not sure what that means (my mother tongue is French). Is it a "cute" way of simply saying "Made in Switzerland" or it's to let us think that is made in Switzerland when in fact it is designed in Switzerland and made in China??? Like Apple products : Designed in California, Made in China.

The listing says Origin....USA BUT it is made in China. Says so all over the actual item. A tad of misleading in the ad! I bought because made in USA but was disappointed when arrived. I am not fond of being MISLEAD! It is still a great little machine.

Joseph, I know that some of their tools are built here in the US. However some are only assembled here using parts and components from US and from foreign. As for the entire combo being built here in the US. Maybe built and/or assemblied, but probably not all parts being manufactured here in the US.

There is no marking which says "Made In The USA". Neither is there any markings which say "China". Being a "made in America" kind of guy, the quality of the item meets my expectations and leads me to believe that MAYBE it is American made! At least I would like to think so.
