R bits made in Germany or China? Says ORIGIN Germany but what does that mean for sure? Made in China, sent to Germany, shipped to USA?

They aren't made in Germany. Some are made in Japan. If you are looking for German-made bits, these aren't them. Few of Bosch's parts are made in Germany anymore.

the reason I bought them they said made in Germany, But what you get is screwed they are made in china.

I bought mine last year, and it still said MADE IN GERMANY on it. CAUTION you must only buy the RH328VC model #, it is true many other BOSCH tools are now made in CHINA, but the RH328VC is still made in GERMANY as far as I know, and is a wunderbar ! tool.

Ours is made in Germany. The quality is excellent; far superior to others that we have owned or used.

Bosch is a Germany company. They couldn't get the quality they wanted when outsourced to the US. So now it is outsourced to China.

Mine is marked "Made in Germany". It is a wonderful tool and does the job. You may want to take a look at this: Apparently the company is owned by DeWalt and DeWalt is owned by a Chinese company.... looks like we lost another! http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110509143514AAJ0vXy

I'm not really sure where Bosch is made, but I'm sure it's written on all Bosch tools. It's not Germany.

We just received ours yesterday and the country of origin is not listed anywhere on the package. So I'm guessing China....

You are right--I looked at the individual toy components on the thing and they all say "Made in China", with Kids II Inc. in Atlanta GA & Baby Einstein as the maker. I don't think they should be listing this as "ORIGIN: Made in USA" -- because it isn't, not in the sense that a parent is interested in. Thank you for pointing that out.

Mine says Made in Germany right on the tool itself, so my guess is Germany.

I buy American almost exclusively when I have a choice, but some countries are known for the best quality of certain things. I do like and buy German tools. The problem with buying Chinese and other Pacific rim items, is that they are made there because it's cheaper than other areas in the world. Why? The workers are exploited. I can't support that in good conscience. And corporations here that have abandoned the USA and produce generally inferior items to boost their profits is repulsive to me also.

Bits are marked CV, I believe for Chrome Vanadium.Bits also say France, although package says "Made in Germany".

I am not sure...my set is made in Germany. I know that these companies now manufacture in China but there is good quality control and so the quality is just as good as if it was made in Germany!

U.S. commerce laws require marking of imported goods to be marked with the Country of Origin, which is the country in which the goods were manufactured. DeWalt does sell goods made in China and Mexico. DeWalt is a subsidiary of Black and Decker, a U.S. company, and must abide by U.S. laws so by law if it states Country of Origin as Germany then the bits have been manufactured in Germany. I have the drill bits and they have worked fine for me. I have them at another property I own so I can't look at them, but they have worked fine for me - no problems.

They are made in China. DeWalt has abandoned the United States for manufacturing, just like thousands of other Republican-run Fortune 500+ companies who have wanted to crush unions and move from making profits to making extreme profits, at the expense of the American middle class. As a consumer, a squirrel just trying to get a nut, nowadays you have no choice but to buy Chinese. Sad. Having said that, the bits are performing well for me.

I believe they are made in Germany. We try to buy made in the USA as much as possible, but these are really good quality.
