Ok so I am British and I do have some "Made in USA" tools, a Metrinch socket set and spanners, but frankly I prefer quality German tools. You pay a bit more but you get reliable quality.
Once upon a time you might have written you prefer quality British-made tools, but they must be pretty thin on the ground now. I have an excellent Norbar torque wrench (Norbar apparently dates back to World War 2, when they made tools for the Merlin aero engine). A bit of Googling suggests that the wonderfully named 'King Dick Tools' are still making stuff here. I now have to go out and buy one of their products, partly to support British industry, but mainly so I can brandish a tool with 'King Dick' written on it.
What companies make tools in Germany? I am looking to buy a nice set of drivers for computer work, and am looking for high quality as I am tired of crappy tools breaking on me. I however live in the US, so wouldn't know German made if I broke my toe on one.

I'd have second thoughts about that quality and reliability. I remember this one time they couldn't even take over a single island!

Do those tools emit more NOx than allowed by regulations?

Careful, Googling that may not give you quite the product line you were looking for.
