The "Professional Use" is an error in the title. For everything else on the Sears site, that's code for US-made and "Craftsman Industrial" stamped on it.
The picture shows them not having "Industrial" on the wrench and two reviews talk about China and/or lobster claws.
Just received some Cman wrenches from Sears the other day.
The four singles are listed as "Professional Use"
Craftsman Professional Use 25/32 x 13/16 IN. Open End Wrench

Craftsman Professional Use 12 x 14mm Wrench, Open End

All four are US made and the first two are indeed Cman Industrial, but the last two are simply Cman RP.
Also got
this set for the stubbies mainly:
http://www.sears.com/craftsman-48-p...nch-set/p-00923731000P?prdNo=7&sellerId=SEARS
The long pattern open ends are larger than I would like but not horribly so.
The stubby open ends are much too big so this set will be going back.
What shocked me was the actual workmanship of the Chinese wrenches - the smoothing before chroming - is
good. No sharp edges or corners. Everything appears properly ground/sanded. Very slight roughness in one small area on one beam/stem, but out of 48 wrenches, it's insignificant. Even on that one wrench it's too slight to matter. Aside from the style of the open ends, the broaching and stamping are fair to good. There were 2 or 3 that had beams thinner than should be judging from the others, and 2 or 3 where the box end bend was not quite as it should be. Most of the beams seem comfortably thick. Even where the broaching is off center, it's much closer to center than some of the Chinese Gearwrench I have.
The two Industrials (25/32 x 13/16 and 16 x 18) have
every edge and corner on the open ends sharp! The corners are literally sharp enough to hurt yourself. It actually seems as if you could use them as ad hoc scribes in untempered steel.
The 5/8 x 3/4 Double Box End is only 6" long, not 11" as advertised. Yes the model number, 43865, matches. Broaching and stamping are slightly off, but I wouldn't reject the wrench for this. There is some chrome peel on one end so for that and the length this will be going back.
The 12 x 14mm Double Open End is the only wrench I really like in every respect. For Cman anyway. One very small blem, but insignificant, especially for Cman.
