Cornwell only manufactures a small portion of what they sell. If you look at their price list, only the items in bold print are actually made by Cornwell.
They do offer US made pliers but, they're rebadged Channellocks.
The abundance of China and Taiwan made items offered by Cornwell has increased significantly over the last few years. Their Blue Power line is all foreign made.

Which tools did you buy? something like this? http://corporate.cornwelltools.com/...luxe-All-Purpose-Pliers-Set,-Neon-Green.html#


All of the truck brands seem to offer more expensive USA made pliers as well as Chinese/Taiwanese cheapo versions for lower prices.. If you didnt like them, Why did you buy them?

Did you look at the pliers at all before you bought them, or just blindly assumed since they came off the truck they were awesome?

You wanna try Cornwell, try their hard line (sockets, wrenches, ratchets) those are primarily made in the USA.

Pictures? If not, maybe a link to the ebay listing so we can at least see what you saw when you made the purchase?

It might still be a nice tool set. Why is it that people go crazy over their tools being made in the US when nearly nothing else they own is?
