Kind of agree. I can't say I ever associated "Made in USA" with quality, and especially not with the combination of quality and elegance I associate with other countries. That being said, I would assume most people are biased towards their own country with regards to this, or perhaps the country stamped on long-lasting stuff they grew up with.

How about USA-made Starrett combination squares? Is there any better, anywhere in the world? https://starrett.com/category/111001 https://starrett.com/category/111001

  I have no idea. Are combination squares popular outside of the US? :)

    That's like asking if accurate right angles are popular vs necessary in various trades :)

      I wasn't sure what a combination square was so I checked Wikipedia and they only had entries in English, Dutch and Spanish, so I assumed they were some kind of special case of right angle not very popular over here.
