I got some Matco impact sockets about 4 months ago (not ADV) and USA is not stamped in them nor was their a coo on the package. But my Matco extensions which are about a year old have it stamped and on the foam holder.

Most of my impacts are Grey Pneumatic. They’ve held up really well for me. Can’t go wrong!

I’ve always liked Mac stuff. I’ve got a lot of their chrome USA sockets and their ratchets. Even have a set of the original knuckle saver wrenches. Never had an issue with any of it. Back in the 80s and early 90s Mac was very popular in the area. But I haven’t seen a Mac truck in sometime.

I’ve got a 1/4 set that I like pretty well. I’ve never used a wrench on the square end, but I have used my fingers on the flats for manual use without a ratchet. I think it’s really nice for that.

They aren't Snap On wrenches. But they are warrantied by Snap On, shipped in Snap On boxes, and Snap On reps visit the Case IH parts expo. Basically Taiwan Williams.

I've got a set of the original Mac Knuckle Savers, and I really like them. I've never had one slip, spread, bend or break. And I've cracked loose ALOT of hydraulic lines with the 7/8-1" wrenches. Those get seized pretty good over time. I've no idea compared to a tie rod, but they've served me...

That knife is too cool!!!:rocker:

Very jealous of that metric set! :beer:

That is a BEAUTIFUL ratchet!! :beer: I love craftsman of that era.

They are on sale this quarter in the Real Deals flyer.

That's pretty cool! I didn't know such a thing existed.

I'm wondering if they aren't NOS sets? My local Menards still has quite a few of the old USA sets.

FWIW I've had a set of Case IH wrenches I've use daily for 8 years and they've held up great.

I purchased one from my Local distributor back in July. After heavy everyday use, I like it better than my Dual 80.

I'd go with SK. I have some Masteforce items, and they're not bad, but what Menards has in stock, is all they're going to have.
