I would email them and find out for sure. Most of their stuff if its made in the usa they put that on the listing. I thought I read around here that allen was going overseas aswell.

Correct!
Allen has been releasing a bunch of Chinese tools recently. I don't know if they still make the US tools.
The 66647G wrench set is made in China, according to this site.
I think all the Allen tools that have a "G" in the part number are Chinese. If you notice, they are usually unbelievably low priced.
I bought this wrench set on ebay and was surprised to find it was Chinese. I returned it.
There are still some deals out there on USA made Allen tools, but be sure you're getting US tools before you buy.

Hmmm...I'm surprised to hear that. I'd definitely consider them since they're made in Taiwan. The set I bought was China.

No go - using in-store pickup option the price stays at $34.99. That's what I usually do and get the same price, but this time I guess there's no discounted price for pick-up.

Even when choosing ship it shows 34.95..... their website is so bad...

Last time this was on sale, I picked it up in store for $17. Online only sales are usually paralleled in store for Gearwrench. It's a nice screwdriver set and makes a decent nutdriver if you don't mind not having a hollow shaft.

I chatted with someone on the sears site and they said there was/is a web problem and to try a bit later. I have been looking at getting this set and $20 makes it more worth it

Bondhus 15290 6-Inch Length Hex T-Handles with Cushion Grip, 3/32-to-3/8-Inch Sizes, 10 Piece Set - $18.35
Not sure if that's a good deal or not. I'm still pretty new to the tool scene.

I think it's the exact same cabinet from the photos and the other specs shown. I think the 185 weight capacity is a typo in the ad.
BTW tried to order one, they are on backorder now. Since it's probably a closeout, there won't be any backorders. It says "in stock" on the product description page but when added to cart it shows backordered.
Sorry, not a Hot Deal, just the same old rant about Sears.
What a goofy website.
With that item in my cart, now with the correct $19 price, the sidebar shows other Gearwrench tools I might be interested in, for 50% off - 8pc reversible combination wrench sets show at $79 marked down to $39, and the 49pc Vortex set from $49 down to $24.99. But when I go to those product pages to add them to my cart, the wrenches are only $20 off, and the Vortex set is full price. What's the point of having a feature that offers me other tools I might be interested in buying if the prices are wrong?
