Yes they are, most definitely. And they just came out with a new Knuckle Saver that has a wider beam.
Have you seen the New KS Wrenches? Do they indeed have the USA stamp on them? It seems that Every Picture ive ever seen of the New Style only shows the Mac side with NO USA.
The price "kinda" indicates that they are made in the USA, but im still Leary of anything stanley does.

I know the precision torque are made in Taiwan. I love the feel of them and they seem high quality I got a you **** deal on a set I was told they were Knuckle savors then when they arrived they were not but like I said I really like the ergonomics of these wrenches don't know if Id pay truck price though

yes they are still made in the usa i just bought 10mm wednesday because i lost my old one. my mac guy had the new style ones on the truck so i took it. no real preferance between the new and old style these have a more rounded beam thats a little wider i like them but if i really had to pick i think the more square beam fit MY hands better. you may be different.
Thanks.. Do they have the USA stamp?
The square beam with the sharp corners was always my chief complaint of the MAC wrench. If they've gone and rounded the edges of the beam, I'll probably be getting some.
they share wrench designs with Proto now so yes its true the square beam is gone. Honestly it was probably done to simplify production
I didnt mind the old beam, but what did bother me was the narrowness of it.

That's an extremely beautiful wrench. If I stepped on the truck and saw that, there's no way I could resist it.

no USA stamp they are made in taiwan
USA is on the other side just like its always been. They're essentially Proto ASDs.

I just got a 13mm Mac knuckle saver wrench that I ordered. Got it Friday. Has "USA" right on it and looks to be a well made tool.
