Made In The USA?
Dave, my statement was not an attack in particular with your wiring connectors and pin outs, this is commonly outsourced, and an example of a very high quality product with excellent history.
03EBZ06, I didn't have a single flaw with any of my Compstar products, and every company will have flaws every sneak out every so often. I had a few questions with their rotating assemblies, and I was given excellent customer service. But I find it unfortunate, and feel for your experiences.. I really hope your particular episode was remedied.
On the other side of the coin, I have had nothing but top notch service from Nitro Daves and Greg @ MWCP, and Tony Mamo @ AFR... these companies are what I benchmark quality and customer service.
Again, Dave, I was not calling out ANY of the products you guys distribute, and I am VERY PROUD to own the kit that I have on my car. Im sorry if the long winded response confused any one, its just outside of the Automotive aftermarket, (BMX) I have a lot of experience and bitterness in this area... hence the impassioned response. I have nothing but the utmost respect for your products, and impressed that you do the majority of your products development in-house. Respect.

We have nothing to hide.Dave
Just because it was designed in the US means nothing. We have seen items other companies design here and get from china that are decent on one production run and total crap on the other.
One could argue that f-bodys were made in Canada. Technically speaking the revenue went to a US corporation, but the Canadian workers got the benefits of working at the plant.

I say make all you can make in the USA, advertise it as such. Be proud of what you have done. Tell everyone you can that you are helping United States people have jobs. Charge what its worth. Most people will pay more knowing that its not China disposable crap. Chinese manufacture everything to be thrown away after use, there are rareley repair of any of it. I like things to be built to last, repairable and re useable. Just my opinion. carry on.

AGREE, times 1000!
I work for the gov't so im all for "made in the usa". but i will say not at the cost of quality. if its price i will pay more for usa but if im paying more for a lesser product im not for that. When i bought my 82" tv i didn't buy the best from usa. i bought the best for the money i had and that was a mitsubishi. had an amercican company had a similar product i would have bought that.
Dave how come when I peeled back the sticker on my bottle it said made in china??

I wrench for a living and I bet 95% of my tools are made in USA and dont care that I pay more because of it. If there was for instance a N20 company kit make with china parts and Another was really USA made and More expensive. No doubt I buy the USA made and customer service is there. But Yeah I would like to be Informed if it was built in china and assembly here.

I think the topic of this thread IF GIVEN THE CHOICE, "would you buy US made products?"
Yup airtools and some other odds and ends are china and cordless tools. And got to watch out for some of the handtools but mostly still USA.
