Made in the USA is hard to find. I have an all American car and wanted to buy anything that was made in America for it. This tire gauge was one of many product searches that resulted in the purchase of an all-American product. It works great and is very accurate. It feels massive, not cheap. The lack of an angle in the head is normal when you have rubber valve stems. At least you don't have to worry about it breaking if you drop it! Nothing against China - your products stink. Buy American!
