So ... is there some loophole that allows them to write "Made in USA" on it?
I have heard that in Canada, you can advertize as "Made in Canada" if there
is a certain percent of the manufacturing done in the country.
BTW, don't take this as me saying that just becasue something is made in
North America that that necessarily makes it a higher quality.

Ahh, Ingersoll Rand, the company based in Hamilton, Bermuda to avoid US
taxes. Here's a press release from 1997:

Ingersoll-Rand (China) Investment Co Ltd announced recently to establish a
joint venture with Guilin Pneumatic Tool Factory. The name of the joint
venture is Ingersoll-Rand (Guilin) Tool Co Ltd. ...
And from 2007:
Ingersoll-Rand Company has completed the acquisition of the remaining
25-percent interest in Superay International Limited, a manufacturer of
pneumatic tools based in Changzhou, China. Terms of the transaction were not
disclosed. Ingersoll-Rand acquired a 75-percent interest in Superay in a
series of transactions in 2002.
