If a product uses any version of the word "America" in its name, it is very likely NOT made anywhere in the U.S.A.
I'm surprised that there's anyone out there that doesn't know this! - Dog_FolksExplorer

Just so there's no doubt,..........
But at the same time, I think it should be against the law to use a name like that if there is nothing American made about it. I know, more govn'mt control. And VA maybe is here in the US, so I guess its ok.
A part of the German company known simply as "Bosch."
So a drill bit made in China for a company based in Germany, and then sold in America, with an "American" name.
Is it any wonder the bit bent? It is confused. :B - RJsfishinExplorerJust so there's no doubt,..........

Vermont American has been putting their name on China products of at least 15 years.
Check the package for country of origin. It may not say built in China, but is also is not going to say built in America.
Here is a link to a excellent list of the remaining American Tool Makers:
