Default Made in the U.S.A.

When looking to purchase new products do you look for the "Made in the U.S.A." markings?
Does it matter to you?

It is difficult for me to decide whether to buy something made by children in a Chinese sweatshop or American union pukes sucking the lifeblood from this country.

You don't know much about the small businesses making aftermarket parts for your Jeep, do you? I buy American, whenever possible.

Did the OP refer to aftermaket parts for Jeeps ? "New Products" sounded pretty universal to me.

Doesn't really matter to me, I look at value more. I bought a chinese made click torque wrench today to carry on my rig. It was $15 and came with a lifetime warranty and it was similar quality to my craftsman that was $60. Can't beat that.

I try to buy American-made, but it's increasingly difficult to do so.

Actually, I know how to read what forum the thread is in, and attempt to keep it on topic. OP posted in the JK Talk thread, not A&E. If you want to bash union made parts, go join the folks over in A&E. This forum is for talking about the Jeep JK, so let's keep it on topic, and assume that OP was asking about Jeep JK parts and accessories. If it turns out he wasn't, let's let the mod's take care of things by moving the thread where it belongs.

Default of course!!!!

Yes, it is matter to me!
If I can find the exact item that I need as: "made in Canada", or "made in USA " (North America)
I will definitely prefer buying it on top of "Made I china" crap!
