    Most of the shit is made in China now, including Craftsman, Snap-on, and other traditional American tool manufacturing brands. Wera and Wiha are made in Germany, and worth the extra money if you expect your tools to last a lifetime.

      Wera and Wiha are both great but Craftsan and Snap-On still machine and manufacture tools in the US

        They haven’t had their primary manufacturing in the USA for like a decade. They’re just recently starting to move their manufacturing back to the USA.

          Craftsman, maybe, but I can drive 45 minutes from where I’m sitting right now and see the same Snap-On factory that was there 20 years ago and I sure as hell ain’t in China
