Hope no one is offended by this and not trying to but I'd like to find some auger type anchors that are not made in China. My experience with China items that require welding has been mixed. Now that country of origin is no longer required on Amazon, it has become difficult to determine country of origin. Suggestions are very appreciated (including type of anchor you have used). Fortunately, anchors are not expensive so I could order and hope but given I have time, I'm hope you guys have some ideas. Thank you in advance.

The most important thing when choosing an auger is the type of soil you have. If it is heavy, clay, something like this will work fine: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-17-in-Chrome-Plated-Tie-Out-Stake-803122/203958745
If you are dealing with loose sandy soil, you may want to go with something like this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Shelter...nd-Spinnable-Corkscrew-Design-10075/202719050

I thought country of origin was a requirement but it appears via quick search that that was required for food items but even that has been dropped. 
Read that Amazon requests vendors to supply the info but they don't mandate or enforce it. Oh well, guess I'll just pick something that looks ok and try it. Thank you all.
Now all that is left is to figure out how to make my Kulp board talk to my Xmus Renard boards. Suppose to be easy ha ha ha. Yeah right ha ha (note: I'd pay someone $100 bucks that can tell me how to successfully make this work and incorporate my Vixen 2 shows successfully into ??? software and run it from the Kulp and add the Mega Tree to my sequences)
