I am usually a made in China guy myself, I use a multi tool daily. Then again I keep about a dozen made in China pens handy. Anyways A leatherman and the Snap-On ratcheting screwdriver are the two tools that I don't mind spending money on.

About 14 years ago I had a fantastic multitool. It was supplied by Buck and Hickman, was all stainless steel with plier/cutter and the normal blades and drivers. It had ruler measurements in metric and inches and printed or stamped into the handle were the words 'PROTOOL' and 'MADE IN AMERICA'.
Foolishly I put it down while on a job, walked away for a few minutes and it was gone when I got back.
I've searched the Internet since, but haven't found a replacement 'PROTOOL'.
If anyone has come across the maker, I'd be grateful for information.

Surprisingly good though these Mickey-mouse tools are, they're no substitute for the proper thing at times. Agreed, they can get you out of a hole but respect their limitations.
JAKL..Buck & Hickman were in Salford,a massive place in the 50's I don't know if they're still trading...Try google for them or the tool.
