I am with you on the China tool deal. HF quality has come a long ways, far enough that I am not going to support NAPA or anyone else that sells far east tools with their name stamped on them when I can cut them out and buy for half at HF. I do try to buy USA made when I can afford them. I just cant drop a months pay on a wrench set, sorry guys. I have been buying some stuff from Martin tool lately, not sure where all of their tools come from but the wrenches sets are USA made, decent quality and affordable for all but the cheapest of cheap.

At least some of their tools are forged by Martin, maybe all of them? Most of the time the same tool is cheaper with Martin's name on them. [Reply]  [No Email]
