USA made matco mostly unless I'm doing a project that I need to build a tool to work than I will buy junk cut it up or weld on it or whatever. Damn it Iron built can't stop the drool over the jewelry box you have thanks for sharing.

That pic sure changed the topic!
Most of my tools are old and I purchased in the 70's-80's and are American made, which I prefer.
I have Craftsman, some Snap-on, Matco and believe it or not, my first rachet set-Husky's are still workable
I still try to buy US made tools or buy them used.
Have bought the Chinese JUNK when necessary
Snap-on sellers on e bay rake you over the coals.

Picked up this made in USA Proto extended ratchet
Happy with it.

I was doing a little cement work, ordered a new magnesium float last month. This Marshalltown is made in the U.S.A.

Oh, and it works beautifully!

I have a few Proto tools. All made in the USA and all are good quality.

I needed an extended handle ratchet to work the adjusters on the torsion bars.
Found the Proto on Amazon.

Speaking of tools;
I got tired of denting my grease caps so when I rebuilt my front end/brakes and put on new caps,
I picked up this cool tool.
Worked great in installing the caps without denting them up!

Getting back on track. Around here the best thing to do is hit the auction sales, especially the farm ones. All kinds of good old tools made in the USA. Even come across some homemade ones that make you think.

Heres a tip if you like snap on. New Holland is the exact same tools from the same foundry half the price, look just like them.
