I no longer buy into the "big box stores" vs local mom and pop deal. The only mom and pop that I know of that closed after wally world opened never paid anything better than minimum wage, no insurance, and against labor laws, did not pay overtime. As for chinese made items, you have to look hard and ask for US made items, and then, I try to most of the time, but the majority of people are not going to pay the outrageous price the local store is asking, versus what you can buy the exact same item when you can find it at Lowes, etc, for a much lower price. I do go out of my way to buy auto parts at a place a local guy has run for decades. But ask him about american versus overseas parts. NO ONE, except a few shops whose customers demand the high end parts are willing to part ways with their money for expensive "premium" grade parts, many of which are still made overseas.
