In terms of tools I can think of a few examples: Zippo, Victorinox, Leatherman, Snap-On (though TBH, I'd happily recommend the Halfords "Advanced" range even though their ordinary stuff is garbage)

In the world of white-goods / consumer electronics I wouldn't have a clue any more. Did I hear recently that even Miele have now started having some of their stuff produced under license?
