I assume these are Chinee. Can anyone verify?

EDIT: Yep. Here's a review:

"Made in china, BOOO. I used to buy only Craftsman hand tools due to the lifetime replacement warranty and their being made in the US. But more an more craftsman tools are built cheaper overseas and sadly you get what you pay for. I bent the thicker pliers in this set trying to crimp a tiny connector. I was shocker and horrified to see how easily it was bent into a completely unusable shape. Honestly, I don't think I'm even going to bother getting it replaced under warranty. I used to think so highly of Craftsman but over the years the decline in quality has been ridiculous. I think I'm simply done with Craftsman entirely and will take my money elsewhere from now on. I'm even worried about the good quality craftsman tools I own. I mean, what good is a warranty replacement 5 or 10 years from now if the replacement tool is just going to be a piece of ****?"

FWIW, Craftsman mini pliers have not been USA made in close to 30 years or so that I recall.

I have the older gold handled version, they are pretty terrible. Only really good for light use and not very accurate. I have since been trying to piece together a higher quality set.

First post on GJ lol. Great forum guys Ive been reading for weeks if not months.
Fivespd- ***** to hear the professional's aren't good. I was hoping to snag a set in the near future. What kind of brands or sets do you think you're gonna get now?

I Just got these. exchanged a 3 set for 10, for this 5 set for 13.50.
It's 13.50 on the sears website, and then click free store pick up if you don't wanna pay shipping. Seems like everything's cheaper on the site, always have a 15% off deal.
The Pliers seem good though. Mainly for light/med use around the house and garage. For the price I think they're worth it. lol they even throw in a decent case.

Edit: Site says sold out but store pick up works if your store has them in stock. And it conveniently tells you how many the store has. Looks like I was the only one to buy one lol. But shoot like I said for the price you can't go wrong. Its like paying for a cheap set a osh or something : )
