Eric,
Here's one American made vise company, but I can't believe the price!
http://www.yostvises.com/sheetmetal.htm
I was in Northern Tools a couple of weeks ago and talking to one of their
floor personal about wrenches, and made in USA. He was showing me
a set of their wrenches and saying that they were made in USA. I picked
a set up and was looking at the package, and found "made in China".
I'd love to buy made in USA, but in most cases I can't afford it. I'm
willing
to pay more for something made here (want to keep jobs here), but $500
for a vice, 2 moving parts! Hell, I can buy a used car for $500!!!
Wilton (http://www.wmhtoolgroup.com/) supposedly has a made in the USA
vise at a more reasonable price. They are suposedly available at
Northern tools.
