That is not even remotely the case, and any professional mechanic I've ever known will argue against what you said as well. My longest lasting tools are still around after 42 years of use were all made in America, while tools I bought recently and going back 20 years ago made in other countries have all been replaced many times over. I have a set of made in the USA open end box wrenches that were made at least 60 years ago and were used a lot still are in fine shape, while newer ones I got for the metric world made in Taiwan I had to replace with others made in China which have gotten replaced due to wearing out or breaking.
