Some craftsman is still made in the US. Its about half chinese, half US manufactured. http://www.stillmadeinusa.com.

If we ever go to war with China, I say we carpet bomb their fkn asses with all their manufactured crap that is sold over here.
Thank the American Consumer for buying cheap **** over quality because they want to save 3% so they can buy more worthless crap they don't need, thank the Labor Union's for squeezing the corporations and manufactures so hard that they moved their operations over seas for the past 40 years, and thank the Feds for passing unfavorable trade agreements to get worthless concessions from unfriendly governments.

If I remember correctly...the Craftsmen tools made in the US are gaurunteed and you can replace them if they break but for the tools not made in the US I don't think you can get replacements. My brother is a Home Improvement manager/tool guru at a pretty big Sears around here and I believe that's what he told me. He also said some Craftsmen tools are made in CANADA.

Oh and I doubt we'll ever go to war with China...They saw what we did to Japan and they don't want none.

I just purchased this exact wrench set last week to remove my header bolts. I was so disappointed to come home and see the huge CHINA imprint on the back. O well, it's still a bomb *** wrench set. I love the black anodized coating or w/e
