A quick look suggests that 'Snap On' and 'Blue Point' (automotive tools) are both made in America.

I'm not talking abut Harbour Freight stock, since I'm pretty sure nearly everything they sell is foreign sourced.

But I am thinking that if Americans are going to start the arduous task of re-industrializing they need basic tools, and those aren't generally made in the US any more.

But those tools hopefully will be made in the US within 3-5 years. Or are there good companies out there that survived the last 30-50 years of PUNISHING companies which produce tangibles, especially tools, and so have the requisite knowledge to take early advantage of this monumental gold rush?

I would think modernized machine-building shops would do very well in this environment. Of course, most of the heavy equipment a machine shop uses is not made in the US any more...maybe China or Germany?
