I was searching on ebay for some South Bend parts when I saw ads on the bottom of the page. One was for a dead center from Walmart. The idea of Walmart carrying lathe accessories intrigued me so I clicked on it.
Apparently they have a "marketplace", like Sears. I clicked on a tap and die set from Hanson:
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Hanson-1813817-116-Piece-Tap-Die-Drill-Deluxe-Set-with-PTS-Handle/29699815
When I read the description I found this:
"Important Made in USA Origin Disclaimer: For certain items sold by Walmart on Walmart.com, the displayed country of origin information may not be accurate or consistent with manufacturer information. For updated, accurate country of origin data, it is recommended that you rely on product packaging or manufacturer information."
So apparently "Made in USA" doesn't have too much to do with the country of origin at Walmart.
