I just bought a Gear Wrench and it was made in China. I was surprised to say the least... Thought Gear Wrench was an American manufacturer for some reason.
Gear Wrench is part of the global economy I guess.
Some of the tools made in China are actually getting better. There was a time when you could buy a wrench at harbor freight and bend it loosening a 3/8 hex bolt. It seems like they've addressed the quality issues somewhat.
Some Chinese wrenches are getting better. It's just the simple fact that American names being attached to hand tools made in China and other countries that is unsettling and deliberately confusing. it's wrong.
