Are any power tools made in US?

Unfortunately ( in my opinion ) most power tool manufacture has now moved offshore. Almost all of the cheaper power tools are made in mainland China. Some more specialised tools are made in Taiwan, Phillippines, Singapore and Mexico. Some of these factories have some quality control over-sight from parent companies in US, Britain and Germany, but i'm not certain how much. I was recently dismayed to find that all Bosch tools under a certain price are now made in China. If you want a Bosch tool made in US or Germany it will cost over 500.
