Of course it's made in China but it's well made and works great. I have a couple of flycatchers and they work great too, but it's so easy to use I'll move on to the trimming tool now. The inserts are pretty solid and you can buy them in packs of 10 for really good prices. Apart from where it was made I can't write anything negative about it. I would buy another. Maybe 3 inches next time.
