That Weller they speak of is made in Germany..The Pace is also a great soldering station and I have a Pace desoldering station.. Cooper tools owns Weller which is definitely an American company.

Look at Black and Decker, and even Sears Craftsman is now becoming a Chinese brand with a shorter warranty. The West has screwed itself.

I agree.We know that all too well..The real sad part people don't get,if we ever have a war,our most formidable opponent would be China.We no longer have the ability to build a top tier conventional war machine because we have lost our manufacturing base due to greed and cheap labor..This is why I cringe when I see so many people buying foreign made products when there is an American alternative.I don't care if they have plants here or not,the majority of the money goes back to the country that owns these factories.

God forbid, but if there is a next war, it won't be like WW2, and "we" won't need a "war machine". It would begin and end very quickly.
"It would begin and end very quickly."
It's astounding how many people don't comprehend this. Years ago, I was on a sales trip to China, discussing my (US) company's television transmitters with a group of engineers. One of the options I offered would allow multiple transmitters in various locations to lock to a single frequency source, which would in turn be locked to GPS.
The minute I said "GPS," one of their engineers leaned into the conversation and informed me they could never buy a system that was reliant on GPS for its operation. When I asked why, he said "What would happen if there was a war? The US would shut it down!" I thought for a minute, then asked him if entertainment TV would be their priority during a war between China and the US. Dead silence...
