I do the same with hand tools. I once went on a tear looking for USA made screwdrivers, having forgot about picking up some Craftsman screwdrivers at Sears. It took me a while and several stores before I found some American made ones at a K-Mart that were good enough quality to risk putting blade into slot.
Anyone else remember when Sam Walton was still alive and Wal-Mart showcased their "Made in America" offerings? What happened there?
Now, I won't say I will buy only American. When Mepps were made in France or Rapalas were made in Finland, I didn't begrudge an international company competing quality against quality, rather than flooding the market with cheap or shoddy products.
