The Other Measuring Tools
From the General Tools website:
Quote:Over the years, General grew its product line and expanded into new market segments like digital test and measurement tools. After three generations of leadership by Abe’s family, the company was acquired by High Road Capital Partners in 2014.

That's about the same time they started going off shore IIRC. I have older General tools that have held up just fine. I tried buying some of their 'later' stuff and got worthless junk so I quit buying anything General.

Randy since your micrometer is stamped SEARS shouldn't they be the ones to get the credit for selling you a good tool? Big Grin
(j/k)

Regarding the little universal protractor, if I could have found one made by an American company I would have likely bought one. As it is - mine is also made in China. If you have no other options it's simply buy, or buy not as Yoda would say. I buy quality American tools when I can afford it. If I can't afford it I have to lower my expectations along with the price tag for imported tools - or - simply do without. I've gotten pretty good with that last one. Smile
