Default What does "Made in the USA" mean?
What does Made in the USA mean to you? Does it matter anymore? Do you have a favorite brand that still means "Made in the USA"? I'm getting a bit discouraged how little it seems to mean these days?

it's something that can get ugly quick if you're not careful.... I try to buy "made in the USA" but a lot of times that does just mean "assembled in the USA".

My wife's Subaru is 100% assembled in the USA whereas my Chevy's final assembly is in Mexico....

I don't really think on items with multiple components that you can ever fully guarantee that it's fully made in America. There will always be some type of component that's made overseas, imported, and added to the domestic manufactured piece.

What about in your tool box? Brand you expect to be American, brand you don't?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
