The Tip is 'Before You Buy' Made in America Secrets tries to send you to internet stores that sell the Made In USA products you searched for. We try to link you directly to only Made In USA products, however sometimes this does not happen. When you click our banner / link ads the store we link you to may show you products that are imported alongside those that are Made In USA. We all know most retailers sell products that are made and come from all over the world including the USA. Therefore, our tip is look at the details before you buy the product. This is true for both brick and mortar stores and internet retailers. Any Made in America store that represents selling only Made in USA products can be believed but check them anyway. They will appreciate your help. Here is a great example of a very reputable Made in America Store. Our site is similar to a few others that I call "Indexers". These sites offer lists like an index. These indexes relate companies to the products they sell. There are a few, like this site, that provide an index of Made in America companies and their products. You can use the indexes (like I have done at times) to find a particular product and the companies that make it. Our site has many features like our buy tips that are unique and valuable. We add buying tips regularly so don't forget to check them out, as they will help you find and buy great Made In America products. Some of these sites are a good resource if you are looking for the manufacturer of a specific product. However you should first check their accuracy because some are not maintained as well as others. Some allow inaccurate and inappropriate ads, others like Made In America Secrets maintain the accuracy of their indexes and do not allow inappropriate advertisements. We continually try to improve our links and we solicit your help and ideas to make our site even better. You can contact us by email, mail, or phone and we will try our very best to respond promptly. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Granite Industries The LiftAlone was invented to allow one person to easily install drywall ceilings. I put a second floor addition on my house several years ago and since I did every thing myself. I installed an acoustical ceiling. It was easy to measure, snap a chalk line, install the rails, then drop in the FRP panels. The panels were easy to score or cut with a standard utility knife and provided average sound control. It was time to remodel and my wife said she was tired of the commercial grade ceiling that looked like something you would find in schools or offices. Removal was easy since the panels were lighter than regular gypsum board. I knew the standard application for a residential ceiling involved using sheetrock. By adding some metal studs, extra insulation, blue board and plaster I was able to create some interesting ceilings which were very sound proof. Of coarse all this was made possible by the LiftAlone. I am not a builder or even a plasterer but I saw the potential and filed the patent. After receiving the patent I found many other applications for my LiftAlone. It has been used to install many ceiling fans, light fixtures, garage door openers, and ceiling medallions. LiftAlone is used by Habitat for Humanity in SW Florida to replace ceilings in homes tainted by Chinese drywall. LiftAlone has also been used by HydroLab in Cicero Indiana were US and Canadian contractors learn to repair flood damaged homes. Since water damage can lead to mold growth, ceilings need to be replaced and LiftAlone makes it an easy one man job. LiftAlone is a favorite tool for basement finishers. Not only does it hold the sheet- rock, it also holds framing lumber and HVAC duct work. A companion product called the RockRoller has since been developed. It will change the way you move large panels of sheetrock. When loaded it is only 6 inches wide so it even travels thru studded walls. It is another favorite with the folks at Habitat for Humanity here in SW Florida. RockRoller is patent pending. Both the RockRoller and LiftAlone are proudly made in the USA by Granite Industries of Archbold Ohio, buy American whenever you can. |
