Made in U.S.A video challenge

Here is my video of the made in USA challenge. I decided to gather several things that were made in the United States and do one video. These are the items I picked:. Craftsman wrench, FN Herstal FNP-9, Gerber lock blade knife, FNP-45, Ka-Bar knife, Marlin 336C 30-30, Springfield Armory M1A 308, and some assorted ammo.
My view point is that buying more American products benefits every working American, because more money stays here. Your spending helps your neighbor or another worker across the country, and their spending helps you! That cycle is broken when all of the things we buy are imported. The only peoiple that have a job then are those in china. Not saying the international trade is bad, but just that buying more American products would help us provide for more jobs here. Maybe you disagree, but that's what I think! Thanks for watching & hope you enjoyed it!!

I refuse to buy US products till the quality control comes back. We have been missing it for quite a few years. If you work at a US factory start producing fine products with pride, do your best. I hate the current state of our cars....grrr.

M1A is a beast...best gun I ever shot. First time I saw it I kinda scoffed at it since it looks old fashioned...boy was I surprised That thing is "the best" I EVER shot.

@diablojd52 I see so much cheap chicom stuff, do my best not to buy. It's crap! Harder to tell what's truely American anymore, but I'd say American cars/trucks are the best they've ever been and very competitive with imports. Yes the US bulit some crappy cars, but newer products are far better. There are some weaker US products but some very nice ones too. Let's not forget we've had some lousy imported cars as well. The whole auto industry is tough - there are fewer bad products.

I try to buy USA when possible but sometimes there are quality issues.

[nashi55]

@pmilligan Good.  Yep, as there are with imported items as well.

Also Wolverine Boots are Made in the US.

Like the New Balance shoes they cost a little more but I think it is worth it to keep the money in the US economy.

[nashi55]

@MsZeitgeist85 Yep - thanks for mentioning them.

@diablojd52 Try shooting an M1 sometime. Even better :)

I just found this video and would like to chime in on craftsman tools I have found out that the new tools are being made in china . If you go to sears and pick up a newer tool read the paperwork on it . I have used them for over 40 years and my dad was a master mechanic so he tought me which tools to get always craftsman and snapon . NOw I hate to even bring in a broken one I ask for a re manufactured tool if possible . Its a real shame

@biggboysouth Yep, I have a Bushmaster AR-15 and it is great. All of my guns are American made except for a Gen 4 Glock that I bought. I don't mind paying for stuff overseas, as long as it's not from China. One thing never to buy overseas is ammo. Never buy any Russian ammo unless you plan on cleaning your gun right after you shoot, because they make some dirty ammo.

@bb152005 Well i know most manufacturers actually sell there own products for usually a higher price than a dealer, but i've also heard from people on forums saying that if you go directly to the manufacturer they sometimes give great deals. So that would be a good idea. But i did get my self a hand gun. it wasnt what i was originally looking for but still very good and made in america(ruger). And also a del-ton ar15 made in US. Some times we need to search a bit for the good deal.

[bb152005]

@biggboysouth You should try finding American companies online, and shop that way. It's normally the middle man selling it for a high price to make a profit. You can pretty much find an American company to make anything you want, but it takes quite a bit of searching online for it. Plus, you save more money buying American in the long run, because it last a lot longer, and it normally has a big warranty (normally lifetime). Cut out the middle man though, and go straight for the manufacturer.

I hope no one thinks im bad mouthing american products on the contrary, i love american products and helping give back to the american public but i just cant all ways afford to. Im sure some of you can understand
