... and if it was made in the USA. Anybody know the COO of this set?

I'm going to throw out taiwan. Just because a lot of the singles seem to be made there (when I looked in sears). They're around 14 bucks a pop so...I'd assume these are probably from the same level of line (don't know if they still make em in the US). But it's probably a mix. Call em up and ask them.

really doubt it's made in USA..

 

[jherm]

definitely not US made, but for $70 shipped, you cant ask for much

really doubt it's made in USA..

One of the Amazon customer reviews confirms china COO. Maybe there are a few USA sets mixed in, but Amazon isn't exactly known for their 100% correct product description so I wouldn't bet on a USA set.

I can't even imagine the trouble I'd get into with a bag full of vice grips.

The AMAZON ONE '' ENGINE '' posted does say MADE IN USA in the description.

But one review indicates that's a false claim.

I think you should check out this great news source, they have some good stories you would love to read (and probably believe).

Now $113.60

ETA: Last time I was perusing Vice Grips at Lowes they were all made in China

 

[Brownsfan]

They were like 5 years ago. It's been a while since they updated their description.

That quote was from December 13, 2011. If anyone is REALLY interested you can ask a Amazon '' owner '' if it is made in USA. Might get a current response. Customer Questions & Answers

$70 would have been a sweet deal.
$113 now is a no-deal for me.

 

[Jrussell86]

I would call it a good price but not a great one.

mac has a 10pc locking prier set with bag on sale for 99.99

 

[Jacobson]

That Amazon set is now $115 !
Looks like $69 was a deal
