Agree. I bought four socket sets, standard/metric standard & deep well. They were covered in rust- kept inside the house. Bottom of the bucket tools compared to my 1980's USA Craftsmen tools.

Posted by Bristoe The people wringing their hands over Trump's rhetoric don't know what time it is in America.
IDK if this included sockets, but Craftsman hand tools used to be made by Western Forge, located south of Colorado Springs. Stamped with WF. Good stuff.
Stupidity has its way, while its cousin, evil, runs rampant.
I've used mostly older Snapon and S&K but in needing to replace things I have been buying from McmasterCarr. https://www.mcmaster.com/products/socket-sets/ Their stuff is Willaims brand and made in the USA. So far it has held up as well and better than anything else.

Stanley Black & Decker own the Craftsman tool brand now and they've a wide range of vendors making them, mostly in China.
"Beginning in 2010, hand tools manufactured for Craftsman by Apex Tool Group (formerly known as Danaher) such as ratchets, sockets, and wrenches began to be sourced overseas (mainly in China, although some are produced in Taiwan)"

Look at Cresent tool kits, mine folds flat in it's case, and fits under the seat. I believe it's 140 pcs not sure of the number. 1/4 ,3/8, and 1/2 drive, with wrenches 6mm to 19mm and 1/4" to 3/4". Screw drivers, allens metric and sae, plus plyers Depending on where you buy price should be around $60 or $70 dollars. I have had this set since 2012, and beat the hell out of it a couple times, nothing broken yet.
Years ago, HD opened a new store here. They had a drawing for a door prize - a big set of Husky wrenches and sockets, both SAE and metric. I won it. I've used them hard over the last 20 years and they're still like new, with a lifetime warranty.

I've liked the Husky stuff I've used. 25 years ago - I broke a lot of Snap On stuff. Mac and Matco were good. The price some of these places get for a tool box is pretty outrageous tho, for the home guy looking to just keep his gear running.
I am kind of tuff on tools. Harbor freight replaced my broken 3/8 ratchet no questions asked. Icons are pretty good. I had a old husky ratchet that wore out, home depot sent me on my way with a brand new one. The manager had to ok though.I like the husky better then the Icon.I had a broken craftsman extension, lowes told me that I needed to call craftsman. I am done with craftsman.
