Are you guys still dealing with the huge farm mouse problem?

I haven't heard much recently.  Hopefully the current cold snap will kill them off.  It's not really their fault, us humans change their environment by our farming techniques to give them a perfect environment to breed up.

Amazing what a few pairs of rabbits can do... if given an ecosystem with no predators.  :o

You be hard pressed to find any product thats 100% made in its country. Everything comes from everywhere, its down to how you word it. For example Dewalt's new tape measure says 'Made in the USA using global material' the same with power tools.

In most of the US a product only needs a majority including package to use USA markings from my understanding.
In my old company we had a product that came from Mexico in sub assembly form. It took 4 sewing tacks and about 5min to assemble and put a USA tag on it.
We also had a guy who's sole job was to remove and replace "made in China" tags from our gear bags because the harnesses that went in them were made here in US.
A few years ago there was a fuss about frozen fish caught in Alaska waters, shipped to china for bulk process then to Canada for retail package. It was technically over half USA by average so thats what it was tagged. But the Canadian gov wasn't too happy about it as I recall

I heard this from multiple sources, all be it unverified,   and is all hearsay at this point,  That LM really stopped fully making all parts in the US around the time the 2nd gen Wave came out.

What I heard at the time, it was not just the pliers, but some of the tools and maybe the blades even were made overseas, then shipped and assembled in the U.S.
