D'Addario

I play guitar & bass, so I buy strings quite a bit.  I almost always buy D'Addario, especially when I'm buying in bulk, because they come packaged in a corrosion-proof sealed bag.  That way they seem 'fresh' (yes, you can hear & feel when strings have been out for a while) even if I purchased them a long time ago.  If you really want the strings to last even after you've opened the bag, D'Addario offers a coated string line too.  And of course, they are made here in the USA.

Twig Case

I was searching for an iPhone case that was made in the USA - there are not very many choices, but I found one and purchased it from Twig.

The case itself is very eco-friendly, using materials that have been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council and the Rainforest Alliance.  And it's wallet-friendly too - the one I chose was $20 USD.  They have a lot of neat options for their cases too, some that are quite artistic.  I just got a plane one - I just need to protect it from drops (which I've done before...).  Should arrive in a few days - can't wait!

Apogee Electronics

I write & record music on my laptop.  It's been a long evolution for my 'studio'.  Way back in the '80's I had a 4-track cassette recorder, lots of outboard effects, mixing board, guitar, bass guitar, drum machines, keyboards, microphones, cables, etc.  Now it's just guitars, a laptop, and an audio interface.

For the audio interface, I use Apogee Electronics.  Apogee makes great stuff - crystal clear, lots of dynamic range, great pre's, intuitive GUI's.  And they make all of there stuff in the USA.  Rock on...

MSR Water Filter

I like to hike & camp.  I don't do it as much as I'd like, but that's true about a lot of things!  Staying hydrated is super important while hiking (or doing anything else for that matter), but water is pretty heavy (~8.35 lbs/US gallon), so carrying a whole bunch of it is hard.  That's where carrying a water filter comes in.  Then you just have to carry enough water to get you to the next stream/lake.

MSR makes a nice filter, and it's made in the USA.  Their website has some videos showing it in action - check 'em out.

Wahl

My two boys & I keep our hair relatively short (< 1.5"), and have for the last decade.  How do I know the exact length?  Because we cut it at home with a Wahl hair clipper, which uses length-labeled clipper guides.  That single product has save me literally thousands of dollars.  Think about it, one haircut per month for three people at say $15 for a decade - you do the math.

It's super easy to use to get a great looking cut, priced extremely well, saves lots of money, and it's made in the USA!

Xuron

For a project I'm working on I need some flush cutters.  (It's so I can cut the pins of through-hole components on the back of a printed circuit board - a new product for my company EurekaSound).  Xuron is the first -they invented it - and best name in this category.  Priced well, engineered well, and made in the USA!

Crosman

My kids and I like to do some target shooting in the backyard with air rifles.  We have some Crosman and Remington air rifles - both high quality rifles, and both made in the USA.  We all really enjoy it.  I decided to get a .22 caliber air rifle to take care of some varmints around the yard - again Crosman has the goods - the Benjamin Discovery.
