Costco and Craftsman USA tool sets

[bigbearcraig]

I was in Costco today and they had 150 piece USA made tool kits. One set was open so I checked a bag of sockets for coo, they were USA made and it also indicated this on the plastic box the tools came in. When I was in a Sears store a couple of weeks ago, I couldn't find a small tool set that wasn't made in China, just individual sockets. Is this old stock at Costco?

Huh, it must be. That's pretty interesting.

These have been in the warehouses for a year and a half. The Craftsman mechanics tool sets -- all of the different versions -- have always been all-US sourcing, and as far as I know are 100% US made still.

Someboy's sure to update us if my info is old...

Might as well ask here since I don't want to start a thread.

Saw a 3/8 craftsman pro ratchet for about $80 at sears. Decent ratchet? Looked really high quality to me.

For $80, I'd rather have a Snap-On Dual 80...

It is a nice ratchet, but that price sounds more like the 1/2" model than the 3/8" one. You can get the whole set on sale on sears.com com for a decent price from time to time.
