American manufacturers need to find
way to make better tools at a competative price.

Most that are still in business today do just that ... they take it overseas
to take advantage of the lower cost of the second of the two necessities for
goods production in Eco 101.

You're not an American manufacturer if your stuff is made overseas. You
are an American importer then.
