im sure these are china, but its a decent price compared to the normal sae and metric kits. get the most used sizes and not have to buy both sets.
they are usually 124.99 in my local store. will go on sale from time to time for 89.99

F it, I jumped in on this. Ended up getting $10 in surprise points to drop the price further. I've struggled with a need for these, havnt found one. But, as the market is going, figured I'd buy while I can. Can't bring myself to buy the non reversing ones for fear of a "non-reversing" situation. Hope they live a long peaceful life in my box all shiny and sh*t

FYI- these are not reversible either.

I bought the Gearwrench version starter sets when they were on sale at Sears a month or so ago for $20 per set. I do a lot of GM stuff so the 10mm has gotten used a LOT. They have their uses.

Just realized that myself. Oops, that *****. I guess I just saw the lever and assumed. I do use my craftsman ratcheting wrenches very often, so maybe I'll find a use for these.

I'm leaning toward the gearwrench XL locking flex-head, a lot more $$..but nicer open end, & longer....I've had good luck with a reg XL set I bought on Gearwrench's web sites Hot Deals on the cheap $

Are these China, Taw or USA?

It still looks like a good deal and they will be useful. I am not sure if anyone makes a locking flex that is also reversible.

Why did we never think of that?? The next time I back a half-frozen fastener into a crossmember and then realize the factory didn't care about serviceability when they were throwing it together on the assembly line I'll reference the advice here.

EXACTLY my original concern
