Drywall Screws, Nails

Yankee — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 17:10:57 +0000

Fasteners have to be the most challenging of all consumer products to research. It is absolutely amazing the number of types of fasteners, sizes, shapes, applications, and quality.

There are futher frustrations to researching these items. We’ve discovered that at least some fasteners are made in the USA. Which is a good thing. However, more common than not is that the products are made for large purchasers and are not available to the consumer for general home use. Having said that, the following information is an accumulation of several research projects that we have done for various types of fasteners.

Wheelbarrows – Made in USA

Yankee — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 16:56:37 +0000

The Wheelbarrow reseach has been a little challenging. Though we can find several that claim to be made in USA. Typically the wheel is not made in the USA.

So several wheel barrows will fall within the legal guidelines of Made in USA. However, for those looking for 100% made in USA, the search is still on.

Hey Sherman,
I’ve been looking for heat pumps as you’ve requested. I guess I’m way over my head on this one. There are a gazillion kind of heat pumps and that is making it very difficult to narrow down a specific kind.

I found this company where the manufacturing locations are varied but not China, but then I’m not sure if they have the kind that works in the moble home. You can check it out. Sundyne I’m also inquiring with Rheem
