Are these made in the US?

If so I should go grab some, I've been wanting ratcheting wrenches.

Thanks for the heads up.

Went to Sears last night. Gearwrench is made in China/Taiwan so I passed.

There was a sale on some Craftsmen ratcheting combination wrenches though, made in USA that I picked up for only $10 more than the Gearwrenches.

Doubt the Craftsmen are? They are pretty bold w/ their label and claims if they aren't........

Cool.

Were they doing forging, etc, or just assembly of foreign parts? I'll take assembly but hope there's more done here.

Unless the wrenches actually have USA stamped on them they are made with some asian parts.I forget the percentages but if its say 30% the manufacture can elect not to brand country of origin.

The crafstmen says "USA" on the wrench, and all over the package. I wasn't just assuming they are made here.
