Default Tariffs, New Factory Means More Craftsman Hand Tools will be Made in the USA

I just read that Stanley tools who now owns Craftsman tools will be building a new factory in Texas. Link to articular ( https://toolguyd.com/craftsman-hand-...y-news-052019/ ) I was hoping this would happen once Stanley took over the company. Most of my older tool are the made in USA Craftsman tools. All my better tools are Proto tools which are made under the Stanley brand in the USA. I have been buying Proto tools for years and most of my real good tools are made by them. They are not that very well known, but they make mostly industrial and aerospace tools, you just can't break them and are hands down I think over Snap on. Stanley tools truck brand I believe is Maco. I guess what Trump said was true if you level the playing field company's will comeback to the USA and make their products right here in the USA tariff free
