Taiwan.

You can buy essentially the same thing from Gearwrench, Sunex, or Grey Pnuematic.

Main attraction of the ADV sockets is fast and easy warranty from the tool truck guy. Warranty from the other guys is often harder.

thanks guys this is what I wanted to see should I spend 375 on the set listed above or go with some Williams impact sockets? I know that's more of my decision but seeing that they are no usa made I still have a hard to spending that much on them when there made the same place hf pro line is made http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001DNOWU2/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Just a thought... But you could buy the GW set, and forget about the warranty...
If one breaks, buy the replacement off the truck.


Quick, easy and painless. And you'd have to break a **** load of sockets to pay the difference.

Or if you have a NAPA nearby get Sunex impacts

They are made by Sunex. Grey Pneumatic got mad at Matco when they went with Sunex and now Matco can not warranty GP or sell them.
