Taiwan. I got mine already. Kit comes in a nice case, complete with sockets and bits. Seems to be excellent quality.
Looks like Cripe also has a Napa flex one stamped USA for the same price:

I don't own a stubby ratchet yet...but wouldn't the flex be more useful? And anybody familiar enough with the two ratchets to compare? Is the gearwrench a better mechanism?

None avalable locally so I gambled and ordered them.
arrived today. COO.... USA woohoo lol
118pc Craftsman mechanics set - dropped to $45. I thought its $55 price earlier this month was hot. $45 is even better.
Reg. price is $100.
Reg. price is $100.
They're still $53.99. That's $3 a wrench. I'm soo tempted to buy another set for spares.

Damn. If you add a filler you can use the $5 off code as well.
The laser etched would be nice, I would just replace my current sockets with those. Hmmm...
Damn this thread!

I have the NAPA flex, it feels like a 36 tooth. The GW should be 60 tooth.

Yes, appears to be the same as the Craftsman one, and that is a 36 tooth.

Nope, since then I've tried to leave a bunch of comments and they never show up. I thought they needed approval or something...

At HD today they had a Ryobi 8-piece carbide-tipped router bit set for $5. That price seemed nuts to me, so I bought one. Then I found it on HD's website for $20:
http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs...Wafvhm5&cm_mmc=CJ-_-361116-_-10368321&cj=true
It was in the center isle near thespecials. Normal white sticker price, not clearance.
Dropped by a Tampa HD & the white shelf tag reads $10 so even at $1.25 a bit it's not bad; they ring in at $5.00!
Thanks!

That's weird. I cleared out the spam the other night, so I can't look too far back for false positives. Comments are auto-approved unless there are more than 2 links, or an IP and possibly email address have been flagged before.
The next time you try to leave a comment, please PM me with the email address you used, and maybe a keyword or two from the comment. Or you can just say something like "This is a test." If that doesn't work, I can open a 5-minute window where the spam filter is disabled, to see if something else is causing the blockage.

Pretty smoking deal. Havent seen China in these sets yet, usually the packages are red/black with Made in USA on them. They dont say "Professional" in the advert but they are indeed the Pro wrenches.
Well, you just pushed me over the edge. Just placed my order for the same. $53 is hard to beat!

$8.50 to ship kind of *****....not free shipping out there, no?
I ordered one a week ago and chose pick up in store. Got a message saying "38-43 days" or something. I don't think I'll be seeing those. i should just order one and eat the shipping...

I don't think they have one to ship. I received my order yesterday that was supposed to contain this set and the large supplement set, but the base set was missing. I called customer service and they could not locate another set (showed zero inventory in the warehouse so I guess I know why I did not receive mine but still not sure why they showed it as shipped and charged me), I had to find one locally and request a refund for the missing set but that is another rant
The store I went to showed 3 on the web but only had two on the shelf, made in the USA and stamped Professional- $64.99 sale price in store. This mall store was one of two in the metro ATL area that had any in stock, I think this might be the last of the Made in USA inventory since the replenishment lead time is 1-2 months according to customer service.

Not much of a sale, but it completes the upper end of the set:

I also bought the individual 7,8,9 mm wrenches listed as Professional long-pattern.

I'm just a home shop guy but my old cm stubby flex is my most used ratchet, even though I own some 'higher end' ratchets as well.
I would prefer it to be a finer tooth mechanism, but I put the one handed socket eject and direction change features above the tooth count. I'd go into detail of very recent job where all three features (flex, eject, direction lever) were used but I don't want to get a ticket from chit chat police.
I ordered one of the napa flex and one of the gearwrench.

Saw this one fatwallet. Does the battery work with the c3 impact wrench you guys made me buy the other day? it only came with a nicad and i heard these lit ion ones were better.

FYI on the grainger ratchet deal. I ordered one for will call pickup/pay at the closest store.
I just called for an update and there was some confusion about the order, and it has been sitting in limbo since the order date of 11/25. I thought I had called the number of the local store but it sounded like I was talking to the main branch with how he was referring to the various branch locations and inventory status.
Anyway, he apologized for the delay and 're-entered the order correctly', then mentioned that there were several other customers ahead of me waiting for delivery of said ratchet to said local store. He then put in a request to transfer some stock from one store to my local store to fulfill the requirements. Said it would be in mid next week.
My point being if I had not called, the order may have sat in limbo forever. So if you cannot access your order status online and especially if you have it will-called, you might want to give them a call.

C3 works with all C3, thats the concept.
What isn't clear is if there is more than one model of C3 lithium battery, like a short and tall one with different capacity.
Regardless I refuse to bite, I have way too many drills of all types.

Two Lithium battery sizes for c3, the regular size [same as nicad] and a slim [shorter] version.

got the wiss deal today. no go on the 118 pc craftsman set at the sears i stopped at or the other one in town that they checked on for me. their screen showed they couldn't order any for me anymore either. might try ordering a set online tomorrow and seeing if i can get one to ship to me since its still on there. gotta wait since i spent the money i was going to use to buy that on other stuff. be a good set for around the house since i don't have many tools here
another decent deal imo i got at lowes was the 51 pc 1/4" drive kobalt tool set for $19. almost grabbed the $6 socket sets till i saw that.

I really want the $20 3/8" drive set. I can't decide on the 1/4" or 3/8" as a messing around kit.

Was this one mentioned already? Looks like it could be a good deal? I wonder how this compares to the HF 5 drawer service cart. It doesn't have a pop up lid, but does seem to have more of the space as storage drawers rather than an open space at the bottom.

i didn't see a 3/8 set there. i probably would have grabbed that if i did. these won't see heavy duty work anyways so 1/4 will most likely be fine. mostly if i buy random things for around the house that need assembling and such. i gotta finish christmas shopping tomorrow so maybe i'll poke around a different lowes and get one if they have it. wouldn't hurt to have both
