>So bringing it back here without increasing the cost to the consumer means altering the design to make it cheaper to build, or banking on supply chain efficiencies to make it worthwhile.

As much as I like some Klein tools that are made in the USA, they have a few that are cheaper-quality when compared to their cheaper-price Chinese alternatives.

If I can’t find USA, I’ll at least look to Taiwan, having spent time there and seen how hard the people work.

When I was a kid Taiwan was the place they made junk tools that broke. 40 some years later they have figured out quality. I expect China to figure it out, and in some places they have.
