I'll be sure to check it next time I'm in the market for something.

The tool section is a bit depressing(I was wrong, there are US made
hammers, fasteners and ladders)

So after scanning this I was thinking that obviously the Chinese buy
their tools that are...Made In China!

They buy their own tools, they get the money and the tools.

We buy tools from China (that may or may not last through a warranty
that may or may not be honored by a store that may go bankrupt)
and they get our money. Then they use our money we spent on their tools
to make even cheaper tools. Or maybe they're smart enough to make themselves
self sufficient. What a deal.
