It's not just, but very much an american thing to say. It's almost every video on youtube."i bought this power tool for $4 from china and man it's bad." All the comments are: hahaha china only makes shit, who could've guessed.

You can buy the best literally everything from china. But it's not gonna be cheap. But then it's like:"that's too expensive for something from china." I'm worried when something is "American made" because it's an absolute gamble and the chances are really high that they use their weirdo measurements where you need magically sized tools to taje it apart.
