Dont know for sure but highly doubt it!
try Taiwan.........
did you look on their web site?
Did you check the label or the retail packaging? Shoul say where it's made.
Note, "Assembled in America" is not the same as "Made in America", that's just a way of saying the parts were made somewhere else without actually coming out and saying it. --------------------------------------------------------

IMO about the only thing you are going to find these days
that's 100% Made in USA is a craft specialty item such as
a Lie Nielsen plane. Anything with moving parts or electronics
is likely to have things sourced all over the world.
Dis they close their plant in Tenn.?
Not sure, but they discontinued their cordless stuff
and the classic trim router.
Mother Black and Decker isn't being kind.
A shame, of course if they closed that plant, I would cheer. Tenn. offered them low cost electric power years ago to get them out of Syracuse NY, this always pissed me off as the power was from the TVA, a federally funded power co.
Oh, Upstate always gets the short end of the stick.
I take the long view, the very long view.
Our home stays pretty much the same. It is a shame the PC seems to be a thing of the past.
I'm going to pick up a lefty circular saw quick.
I have 2 now, no third in my life.
You know that Mil has a lefty also?
No I haven't seen it.
I really need a lighter compliment to my old wormdrive.
Altho I say that and it's been decades and I still haven't picked
anything up.
sidewinder, like their tilt locks!
Ask over at Knots, they are up on this stuff.
I'm still looking for a "made in Canada" sticker.
