If they have not change very much I feel that almost everyone will be impressed with their quality. Like I said they are of heavy construction and very strong, dependable and durable. I am not sure about now but they were made totally in the USA. I originally had 2 of them but gave one to my son, and his is still going strong also. I will see if I can get a picture up of mine tomorrow as I brought it home this winter and have it in my storage shed.
