Nifty gadgets...
I came across the item shown above being advertised in my American Legion newsletter.(It certainly fits in with my personal motif)
I emailed the company who makes it to ask where it's produced, because if it's made in China I'm not interested...so far, no response.
(Which probably means it's made in China)
Anyway, here are the details (from their website):

Well Camo... since I am a "wrench" I think I am going to place an order for the Giant Swiss Army Knife and carry it in my Louis Vuitton for the next time something "necessary" decides to give me trouble. LOL
The way we keep our brethren working and the economy vital is to buy local. Kudos to you for putting your foot down and buying American.
spelling error in prev :-0
Island Girl TLA:
I'm a "wrench" too...for my living, working on aircraft as I do.
('Tis a noble profession!)
cave_nate:
They still haven't replied to my inquiry, so I think my initial suspicion was correct. I also think that the massive trade imbalance with China is a travesty, and wish that more people would "act locally".
Maggie:
I tend to think of Vise-grips® as "the" universal tool, personally...
(And they're made in the US)
Does that thing have a power drill attachment? Might come in handy.
(:D) Regards...
Hawkeye®:
I guess it should; it seems to have everything else...
Where I live, in Michigan, it used to be a sin to buy anything automotive that wasn't American made. Now, half of the cars in the Detroit area are foreign-made. Of course most of the people used to work at American auto manufacturers, too...
Beerme:
Yes, "American made" cars are largely not...unless you count North American, including Canada and Mexico. Lots of multinational manufacturers now, in fact Japanese auto makers employ plenty of Americans in Stateside factories nowadays. It gets a bit confusing, but Chinese goods are made in China, by Chinese workers...
Who needs a toolbox with that jumbo one! yeowza!
The multi-purpose knife looks like it'd be useful. I don't think I've seen a flashlight in one before. But the camouflage motif is getting a tad old. When you can see baby strollers decked out in camouflage ... it's old.
That giant knife is amazing! But who has the pocket size for it? Be funny to give it to your 85-year-old Aunt, eh? Heheheee!
Somewhere, among my possessions, I think I still have my old Boy Scout Pocket Knife. That thing's almost 40-years-old. Don't have a clue where it was made, but it was a quality product. :)
ELEVENTEEN!!!
mig:
That jumbo one is just ridiculous; who's got pockets that big?!
benning:
I've seen lights in them before. I agree that camo is no longer fashionable...but I was wearing it before it was, ever since my time in service.
(IOW, I was camo when camo wasn't cool)
I carry a multi-function knife and a Leatherman, so that's quite sufficient, really...
Kajun:
Heh. Yeah, that too...
