Repeat: in a category where most of the choices were imported. That means, your US-brewed beer doesn't count. I'm asking about times where most of the products you saw were imported, and you had to go out of your way, at least a little, to identify and choose a US-made product.

If you wish to elaborate a bit, what product was it, how much did it cost, and would you give a mini-review? Should other Pelicans consider it the next time they need a new whatever?


This is a follow-on to the thread http://forums.pelicanparts.com/off-topic-discussions/619642-anything-made-us-anymore.html
Built in Flat Rock, MI:

Very few of my mechanic's tools are imported...mostly craftsman, with some snap-on mixed in. This a choice.
My rollaway selection was a made in the usa craftsman set, purposely chosen over the less expensive imported chests offered by Costco...
