Wire Tracers
For that matter what part of any electronics device is made in the
USA, which hydraulic devices? As for tools some of the best are now
made in Japan and Taiwan and some are as expensive as Snapon which in
my opinion is way over priced for the occaional user.

Some of the tools I have had for over 45 years and they are still in
perfect shape and they are not snapon. I have two sets of 12X torque
multipliers which are made in Taiwan and believe me they are not
cheap and are very well made. The OTC heavy duty 22 1/2 ton
air/hydraulic floor jack is made in Taiwan and it is of excellent quality.
