I hope that pathetically small list is only a tiny subset of the full list, if not we're in deep trouble.

so few choices... I rather buy China product for the price and quality than riding on senseless boycott for exorbitant price and so so quality...

The Tools list a lot shorter than it should be. At least add DeWalt, Hyper Tough, and Ideal. https://chinanever.com/categories/tools-not-made-in-china

DeWalt is mostly made in China. At least pretty much al DeWalt stock in Australia is.

Was curious about the other brands you listed.. Hyper Tough is manufactured by Test Rite in China and Taiwan.

Ideal is the only one that is strictly US made.

No, Ideal has things made in China too. But the thing is, when I go to a store that carries these brands, there invariably will be items from them with "MADE IN USA" labels. Not all of them, but many of them.

I'm pretty sure that Brompton bikes are made in the UK, so no EU

The site states Europe, not the the EU.

Europe is larger than the EU, which is a subset of the nations. I'm British and also European, a geographical term which vastly predates the EU.

After watching this expose [0] on the global crisis that is Fast Fashion, I'm grateful to have this list of brands that produce clothes in countries that have higher standards (even if it is a small list and the domain name is politically charged).
