Made In USA

The Zippo Tape Measure

Everyone has heard of Zippo lighters. But did you know that they also make tape measures?

(Zippo Tape measure, as found at Lee Valley Tools)

Both the lighters and the tape measures are made in the USA.

The lighters you can find most anywhere.

The tape measure you can find at Lee Valley Tools.

I own one and will be giving two away for Christmas. It's a great tool.

Gerber - Little Suzy's Zoo Cool Ring Soother

For some reason lots of pacifiers are made in Austria, Germany, and China. So it somewhat strange that this product is made in the US. Looking at Gerber's other products, this is more the exception than the rule. Hopefully, they are not planning to move production of this product out of the US too. I suspect that the Suzy's Zoo people might have required that they be made here. Anyway:

Remember to always check where the product is made. In this case, there is a small notation in the back:

This was bought from Baby's R Us. Good luck finding it.

Craftsman 18 pc. Screwdriver Set

Craftsman tools are well known. I have had Craftsman screwdrivers since I have ever had tools. Even better is that these are MADE IN THE USA:

Did I mention that these are guaranteed forever. I have broken and returned screwdrivers to Sears before and have always gotten a replacement for free and without a hassle. Just to be clear, broken does NOT include lost.

The package is marked "Made in USA." Always remember to look for the label.
