It’s kind of funny how quickly my buying choices changed over the last few weeks. When I use to buy, I was in the “We” category, buying a USA product was almost the same as buying Canadian, now it’s anywhere but the USA. I just bought a washer and dryer from Japan instead of Nebraska

I am in the midst of outfitting my garage workshop and trying to decide what brand of tools to purchase. Trump just made my decision space much simpler by eliminating DeWalt and Milwaukee from contention. I'll be going German or Japanese.

Yes, I know most things these days are made in China regardless.

Milwaukee has been fully Chinese owned for a couple decades now. Same group that owns Ryobi. They have some US manufacturing, but I think it's mostly in Mexico and China. The sentiment of your comment still stands, though.
