After reading the other Napa thread, i'm still curious if anyone knows who makes the Ultrapro tools from Napa in Canada? I've bought a few of their sockets and they seem like great quality....and i've read others have had good experience with their tools. Napa in Canada do sell the Evercraft line of tools as well, but the Ultrapro seems like the higher end line they sell.....just no idea who makes em? anyone?

Don't really know, but I doubt they're from a single vendor, I'm pretty sure they rebrand different items from different manufacturers. I know their feeler gauges last time I saw them were marked KD Tools, but came in UltraPro packaging. Crosspein hammer I believe may have been Garant. Ratchets and sockets I'm really not sure, the ratchets just don't quite look like or have the same tooth counts as most of the other manufacturers that seem to do a lot of the private branding.
I'm more curious about the sockets, ratchets, wrenches....that kind of stuff. I'll snap a pic of a few of the sockets i got, maybe someone can ID them as another rebrand. Just pulled out their torque wrench we have here at work, and on the case it says Imported for UAP Inc.....on the wrench itself its made by Norbar.
After sending a few emails, then joining their FB site and posting on there to get their attention, i finally received a reply. Not the answers i wanted, but a reply is better than nothing i guess after all the questions i sent.
Anyways, in short, they won't and can't share details regarding the manufacturing of their professional hand tool line.
If anyone else has any info on where they're made, or by who, please post up. Thanks.

Not sure who makes them but I have been staying away from the Ultra Pro line. I bought a t55 in 1/2 drive and twisted it using my 1/2 inch ratchet. I have a 3/8 set of metric deep sockets that I use but after I twisted the torx bit I have stayed away from them. I will qualify that this happened 4-5 years ago so it is possible they have changed suppliers.

I have a few ultra pro tools an I think they are decent. Easy to get warranty on too.
I agree as well, they seem decent to me...but i haven't used them much yet as i recently bought them to fill up some pegs, but i've been curious ever since i started buying them(and after joining this site where COO is always discussed). They are pretty much the ONLY line of tools that doesn't indicate the COO, and come to find out, can't and won't tell you even after you email them...lol.
