Makes ya feel good to actually find something made in America anymore! Went to Lowe's to check out levels and they had ton's of Bostitch levels, all said, "made in China", decided I didn't need a level that bad, especially for a $70 Chinese made one(48"). Low and behold a few slots down was a company called Mayes, wood level, 48" with and accuracy of .001". Not the .0005" Bostitch claimed but the Mayes was around $30 and made in U.S.A, they got my money. Even if the Mayes was $70 I would have bought it for the sole reason that it was made here. Also found some Plano plastic storage boxes for bolts, etc., also made in the USA unlike the stanley product which was 3 times the cost, made in China.
Here's another place I found on the web, Veteran owned, made in the USA levels,
