It is indeed made in USA.

I checked out Precision Twist & Guhring: the PT's are available at Amazon, as are the hideously expensive Guhring's. Neither are inexpensive.

I located a carbide-tipped twist drill at buydrillbits.com, described as "super heavy duty, for hardened metals". It's the same price as the two you mentioned. What do you think?
