Bought these for my dad. He grew up during a time when everything was made and available in the USA. I appreciate everyone in the USA working and living to keep that growing and thriving. Yes, USA made costs more. Buy quality and have it last longer while supporting good livelihoods. Buy cheap, have to buy it again or something just as cheap to replace it, spend just as much money as if you’d bought quality the first time and support poor wages, poor conditions and, well, hurt our country as a whole. I shall now step down from my soapbox.
