According to Chinese executives, tool manufacturing will not return to the US due to high labor costs. GreatStar Industrial's senior VP Li Feng noted US labor costs are several times higher than in China or Vietnam. After acquiring US hand tool company Arrow Fastener in 2017, they observed US worker costs are prohibitively expensive. Chervon Holdings' CEO Pan Longquan said manufacturing in the US would increase production costs by at least 50%. The US lacks core component manufacturing and suitable lithium battery supply chains for power tools. Further, US import tariffs on industrial materials push costs even higher. Tools made in China or Vietnam sell for tens of dollars in the US, while US-made tools cost hundreds, making reshoring unfeasible. To cope with the situations, Chinese toolmakers like Chervon and GreatStar are expanding production in Vietnam and building inventories in the US. Vietnam factories aim to meet US demand while China focuses on exports to Europe and other markets.
