Does Wilde make their own ratchets and sockets?

[capnrob97]

I see some Wilde socket and ratchet sets on eBay at a decent price, say made in USA, but I don't think Wilde actually makes them.

Does anyone know who makes them if Wilde doesn't?

I believe they are made by Danaher. It is the same company that used to make Wright's "Cougar" line.

Are Wilde tools made in the US? I have a Wilde ratchet that seems to be decent but it doesn't have any COO on it anywhere.

Yes.

In this video you can see them making the Craftsman red handle pry bars.

I have a set of Craftsman ignition pliers that were made by them.

Wilde does not make their own sockets and ratchets. Pretty sure they've eliminated them from their catalog quite some time ago as well due to them being sourced from Stanley who in turn got in trouble labelling them USA when they were imported.

I know Wilde makes all of their own pliers, punches, chisels and pry bars.
