Price isn't bad, but Gearwrench can be had for cheaper when on sale. Wonder if they are US made - package doesn't indicate.

Why not try and grab a bit of the import action, everyone else including Snap-on has so why should they be any different eh? I don't blame them a bit.

I would bet a lot of money they are imported

I am sure they are not, no one elses are, why be any different than the rest of the crowd?

They are made in Taiwan, you can get the SAE pack at Sam's Club for 22 dollars.

The Sam's that I know has them is in Dothan, AL, they've had them for a long time. I'm not sure about any other stores.

They feel EXACTLY like Gearwrenches, same smooth action. Though I don't know if they're identical on the inside they sure did look and feel exactly like my gearwrenches.

We don't make them. I believe it's trading company that has licensed the Channelock name and contracted with a Taiwanese OEM.

I haven't seen them. They're not in the new catalog either.

They look just like these. I bought the SAE set for 17.99 at one of the HF sales, they seem just as good as my Gearwrench ones, fit and finish is excellent...go figure. Anyway bet they just stamped them Channellock
