All full polished wrenches have been chinese for a while. Then it was ratchets that went chinese and the most recent were extensions and drive accessories.
All the socket bits Ive seen on the selfs a few weeks ago were still usa. Im pretty sure they are made by armstrong along with the rest of the socket line.

Look for the ones hanging on the back of the hook. There is still a bit of old stock USA made stuff out there, and its the cheapest you can buy. As far as I know (and I'm in Sears twice a week) the bit sockets are still USA made. Might not be for too much longer though.

The 20" one don't move very much. The long ones are the only ones still left USA made at the sears here. Sears hardware store also don't move as much stock and still have a lot of USA made stuff still on their selves.
I can understand when they move the full polished line as they were made by SK and SK went bankrupt. But them moving all other lines of tools has no other excuse other than greed. They moved from the Armstrong made impacts and drive accessories so who knows.
