I think they are actually German engineered and made in the U.S. But

They're made both places, and few years back those made in Germany were
about all you good buy. I still have a few of the German ones in the shop.

I don't see a difference between them, except that they have come done
in price since I first starting using them.



I have noticed that price come down significantly too. The 5/16" lag
screws were well over a $1 each 6 years ago. IIRC I paid less than half
that this past Spring.
