two questions: (1) One of the attractions to this drill is that Amazon clearly states that it was "made in u.s.a." When it arrived, the packaging clearly states that it was "made in Mexico". (2) The maiin reason for buying the drill is that my older...

There is a slight electrical odor when using the drill but this does not deter me from using it. It doesn't appear to affect the drills performance. When using my craftsman brand drill, there is a similar smell however not as much. Dewalt is an American company,(Baltimore Maryland) but like many others companies, assembly may be outsourced to other countries. The battery chargers for example are assembled in Thailand.

I think it actually comes down to the seller, and maybe this one is covered by prime? It's the newer model of the two and offers more torque. In fact I priced this drill at Home Depot before I purchased it on Amazon and it was about $70 out of store. This is one of the few Ryobi products that is actually cheaper in Amazon. And as much as I use mine, it has been a great investment.

I checked the carton which it came in, and the carton showed that it was "assembled in Mexico". It did not specifically say that parts were manufactured in Mexico. I'm sorry my answer doesn't help much, but that's all I could learn from checking the carton and the owner's manual.

I firmly believe it should be law that sellers must tell you where the product is manufactured, otherwise, it is a form of deceit, knowing "most" Americans want certain products made in good old USA, rather than China, Pakistan, etc. The seller shouldn't be ashamed of what their selling and should stand by their product. Amazon has always been good about returns, but if they would disclose the origin of the product it would lessen any return.Bill

The drill itself is imported. If you're all about Made in USA, the rest isn't as important as the main thing being imported. I buy American when I can as a matter of principle, but I use DeWalt tools at work, and not at home because there's no real reason for DeWalt to be sky-high when equal quality is available for a third the price. Haven't had any problems, but haven't had it long--but it works great! Used it today, as a mater of fact. No issues.

This Makita drill is assembled in the USA from parts of various origin. Most of the components are made in Japan. I find Makita tools to be highly reliable and well engineered.

Bosch is German, where they actually manufacture and/or assemble could be anywhere. BMWs were built in Mexico for a long time. The hammer drill is awesome.

Hi Jennifer, I have one and am not sure where it is made since there are no indications on the tool but I can tell you this: This is a high quality tool and I use it daily. It is very handy to carry around and has held up well with what I have used it for.

The battery states the cells were made in Korea, and further processing was done in China. As far as the drill itself? In tiny print on my drill it reads: Professionally made in China by Milwaukee Electric Tool PRC - My opinion: This is a high tech/quality tool. Hard to find anything today made in the USA, I understand your concern.

Hello, I am the Marketing Director here at Drill Doctor and am happy to answer your question. Drill Doctors are assembled in our factory here in Southern Oregon using foriegn parts. While we would love to be able to say "made in the usa" the US trade commission sets the rules and we don't qualify. However, we have 55 Americans working here at our family business, so you can know that purchasing our products supports families here in America. Other questions, fire away we are happy to help!

Which part? Most likely different parts made in different area and then assembled in mexico. If you are looking for one made in USA,don't bother. We don't make things anymore , we just buy things now.

it is made in the U.S. and came with a certificate for the lifetime warranty. I did buy it two years ago so the terms might have changed between Amazon and buck. all around one of the best knives I have ever bought, and I own over fifty. Hope this helped.

Just checked mine and it is made from all over the world. The drill is from Malaysia, batteries from Mexico, charger and case from China.

It was made in India. Finding things Made in the USA is getting harder to do. But I'd prefer to buy from honest foreign firms than subsidize a US firm like Government Motors to pay the retirement for AFL/CIO managers while my tax money is spent to keep them afloat. Some of the best hand tools these days are made in Mexico, and those who thimk China isn't capable of high quality manufacturing should turn in their iPhones and iPads. There is hardly a motherboard that isn't made in China, not to mention the steel used in the new San Fran Bay Bridge.

Really?? Probably assembled in some foreign country where labor costs are low. The parts...hopefully some came from the USA. But, who knows? I have two Bosch drills and they work great!!
