Woodtick Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Fuck China. The most comfortable work boot I’ve ever owned. I’m up to 3 pair now. Insulated for the winter,the pair I just bought are waterproof,and the other pair I have for when I’m almost positive I’m not going to be working in water. The welding cap is hand made in La. The boots are made in Wi, by @jammin second cousin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still manufacture a lot here in seven plants but some of their tools are made outside the USA. Fucking Bosch doesn’t make shit here because they are fucking Krauts! LOL. They use Asian countries to make their shit!!!! Those are my two main brands!!! Fuck me!!! I’ve been Obama’d!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just don’t last and make sure if you do buy them, they are made in USA . They like to do a play with words on a lot of their boots. “Assembled in the USA” Bull Shit,but charge, made in USA prices. Farm & Fleet does carry some Thorogood made in USA, just not the full line. I buy my boots from this local store. They have a few locations and will ship. Their prices are really good.https://www.google.com/search?q=blue+collar+store+lansing&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari#trex=m_t:lcl_akp,rc_f:nav,rc_ludocids:12500513126052140006,rc_q:Blue%20Collar%20Supply%20Co.,ru_q:Blue%20Collar%20Supply%20Co. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just started buying Bosch a few years ago after one of my contractors sold me on them. I was just under the impression that ALL Dewalt tools were made in USA. I had no idea none of Bosch were.

Woodtick Posted May 11, 2019 Author Share Posted May 11, 2019 I’ve had a few pairs of these. They do last a a long time but I can’t wear them when it’s hot out. My feet burn up in them. You can get the made in USA ones for about $150. https://www.keenfootwear.com/american-built-collection/?start=0&sz=36#tile-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are 10 or more Bosch plants around Chicago. All of those plants are auto parts or appliance parts. Bosch does do a lot of tool design work in Mt Prospect IL. That’s where I R&D out of.

Shit...they are a subsid of an electric manufacturer that contracts their tool manus out of another company based in Hong Kong. Jesus. But, good tools so far.

No complaints here. Probably wouldn't use most of it if I made my living using it, but for the home owner I think it is great stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shouldn't need tariffs. Americans should be wanting to by American made products without them. Unfortunatly we are addicted to cheap shit. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
