About 3 years ago,I broke my axe.
I put it on an oak log and drive it in with a small mall.So,i broke it.
i looked everywhere for an American made axe.Couldn't find one at any local stores.
When at Wal-Mart,I found 3-all made overseas.
But,one kinda pissed me off,because it had a Made in America label on it,but the fine print said-Made in Taiwan,assembled in Viet Nam!Packaged and labeled in the USA!
Ended up in a big argument with the department manager over it,saying I refuse to buy anything that is mis-labeled like this axe.
This wouldn't have happened when Sam Walton was alive!
I bought a good used axe at the flea market.
Also found there are American made axes,but they are very expensive!
Now,I've found that big box stores don't sell what you want.They will give you a couple choices of products that they can make the most profit on.The higher price American made products never get to the shelves.Not enough profit in it!
And,most people don't care-They want the cheapest they can find!
We have to change our attitude before we can improve the quality of our lives.
Mike.
