Thanks for the question, Toolman, and for the insights as always, Paul!
Here are some other options I found for Circular saws:
1.
DEWALT 20V MAX Circular Saw, 6-1/2-Inch Blade or
Bare tool only. Made in Mexico.
2.
BOSCH GKS18V-26LB14. For the American market, this one seems to be made in Hungary.
3.
Bosch 7-1/4-Inch Worm Drive Circular Saw. For the American market, this one seems to be made in Mexico.
And for cordless drills:
1.
DEWALT 20V Max Cordless Drill/Driver Kit. Made in Mexico.
2.
OSCH PS31-2A 12V Max 3/8 Inch Drill/Driver Kit. Made in Malaysia.
3.
CRAFTSMAN RP+ Cordless Drill/Driver Kit. Made in Mexico.
Amazon search results are still dominated by China brands and China manufacturers, but you're generally safe if you stick with these brands (but as Paul says, be careful as manufacturers routinely go back to China).
