    Great news. It's always better when people have jobs in this country, and don't have jobs in other countries. Finally somebody is fighting for the USA and the working class.

    Pretty sure that Craftsmen before Stanley purchased used suppliers for almost all their tools. I know Western Forge made the wrenches, screwdrivers, and pliers out of Colorado. I have been to that plant.

    For the record Ace Hardware still sells Western Forge produced tools. I am curious how they are allowed to keep branding them as Craftsmen?

    Curious too but I think a brand is just a brand these days. I own quite a bit of Craftsman tools but most of them are old school and I've been around for a long time.

    I don't know if I can say their quality is the same as it was back in the day. I've snapped a couple of the deep well sockets working on engines before. for wrenches I like craftsman, but oddly enough I prefer Pittsburg sockets, (cheapos from harbor freight).

    Yes I read the article.
    And based upon the article it appears to be irrelevant that the tariffs are creating a headwind.
    Based upon the article they WILL be breaking ground in Texas, they WILL be investing 90 million dollars and they WILL be creating 500 full time jobs.
    So what’s your point?

    Not only that, but arguing against Trump's efforts to balance trade with China, including the use of tariffs, is like arguing to maintain the status quos of America losing economically to China. Real smart, huh?

    This is horrible news for Democrats/neo-commies.

    It makes it hard to destroy America and fundamentally transform it, if America keeps growing stronger. This isn't the "managed decline" Democrats/neo-commies want to see in America.

    American Democrats side with the Chinese Democrats against America in the trade war.

    If American Democrats believed their own propaganda about global warming they would demand massive tariffs on the Chinese Democrats till they cleaned up their act.

    American Democrats/neo-commies only use global warming to attack America and capitalism.
