MagLight, who once prided themselves on 100% Made In America, had to start sourcing some parts from overseas in order to make a profit while keeping the price of their products within Walmart's price range.

My husband used to refuse to buy much at Harbor Freight, because it was all made in China. But, NOW, almost everything for his home shop is made in China, even the previously designated “top brands”. Of course, there are still several tool manufacturers who do NOT have their wares made in China, but their prices are astronomical. In fact, the good brand names are still high priced, even though they’re made in China. So now, he’s not that picky. Some things, he’s willing to buy from Harbor Freight, because the brand he would have bought, is now made in China, anyway.
