Another good choice is: http://www.rutlandtool.com/ Their selection of tooling usually includes choices between American-made and foreign made, so you can pay for the quality you need and no more. Not that some foreign tools aren't every bit as good as U.S. - it's tough to beat the quality of Mitsutoyo instruments - but QC on tools from, say, India won't be as good as from well-known U.S. manufacturers, so the quality can vary significantly from one month's production to the next.
