I found a few decent deals on some USA Craftsman stuff at ibsupply.com I've bought from them before and had no problems. But they can take some time in shipping so it may be a few days before they ship it.

12pc 1/2" metric Impact Set 15885 (shallow) for $31.32 Link
metric sizes 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 24 and 27
(I just got mine and can confirm USA) edit. They have changed the description to no longer say made in USA so they may be imported now.
They also have the matching 12pc SAE set 15884 for $44.51 Link
3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, 5/8, 11/16, 3/4, 13/16, 7/8, 15/16, 1 and 1-1/16 inches
also marked USA on the website (I already had this one so I didn't get it...not sure why it's so much more expensive)

Also saw a Craftsman 18" pipe wrench for $18.64 Link
Craftsman 1/2" hand impact driver for $14.29 Link

Free Shipping and no minimums makes these a pretty decent deal. They also have a few more things on there like pliers that are at decent prices but these were the ones that caught my eye.

Do they mainly deal in NOS items? any chance these flare crow feet are USA?

Those flare crow's feet where one of the first Craftsman to go to China. Back to about 2011. So they would have to be really old stock (over 5 years old) to be USA.

EDIT: I also just noticed all the USA items clearly state: "It is made in the UNITED STATES." on the description page. Since the flare crow's feet don't say that, I think you can be safe to assume that it is China made.

I ordered a set of bit sockets there a couple years ago that the description said "made in the United States" but I still received Chinese made ones. They did allow me to return the set and they covered the shipping.

I've only seen that once at a decent sale price, of 50% off, and really wished I had got it then. Can't use points, but still a good deal

The description does not state USA, so if you order and receive Chinesium, I don't think you'd have any recourse :( I might like to order this set, but I am leery about receiving Chinese stuff.

Also saw a Craftsman 18" pipe wrench for $18.64 Link

I think this pipe wrench is a Craftsman branded Ridgid. This is an excellent price. There was a similar price available last year and some discussion in THIS THREAD. I'm really not sure how they can sell this for $18 and ship it for free. It is a very heavy item.

I noticed that when searching for items, the listing for the metric impact set still states "made in USA", but when clicking through and reading the item description, the "USA" text is indeed removed. Too late! Oh well :)

It did indeed state made in USA in the listing originally. I had ordered a set of the metric and SAE and specifically put a note in the order that the listing says US and to confirm this prior to shipping and cancel my order as I didn't want them if they were made in China. I got an email stating the metric was no longer available but did not mention the SAE so I assume they are still available. I already have a Snap on metric set so that was no big deal but can use the SAE. I had taken screen shots of both pages prior to ordering showing USA in case I had any problems.

I also ordered the Metric, called and email them to cancel, but the where closed for inclement weather, now the order has shipped, would need to return if they are not made in USA.
Do you care to share the screenshot with the description?

I talked to a rep there this morning and she was checking on the SAE impacts and pipe wrench to make sure they were USA made. She said if they were not, then she would let me know.
She was very helpful

some of the items and descriptions make you think 'what are they blind?'
https://www.ibsupply.com/product/9-19952

******** aside I never knew about this site before. Looks like something I need to spend more time and browse through. They have Wiliams and looks like they ship individual Zephyr/Williams bits I found a couple at least.

Thanks for sharing this.

I received an email today stating the SAE Impacts were not USA. Not sure if they once had USA ones and ran out or if they only had China ones.

Here's what I received today. Very nice hand impact tool set. You can see it's "Made In USA of US and Global Components" tag...

We'll see, but realistically I'm sure it will last me my remaining lifetime! It's a nice unit!

Thanks OP.

The bits are made in Taiwan, but the actual impact tool is USA made, just as an FYI.
