New Wright hex sockets not stamped USA

[reader2580]

Doesn't Wright's website say everything is made In USA with American steel?

Yes. On the front page:

"All Wright-manufactured products are U.S. made and carry lifetime guarantees against defects in workmanship. Cougar Pro branded tools are made in Taiwan, and also carry a lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects."

Wright got back to me, she said she didn't know why they weren't stamped, but had no doubt they were 100% USA made since they make them right below where she sits....

The most important part of this tool, the bit, is made/marked USA.

Does she just pop them out

To add to this Wright hex socket bit "concern", I finally remembered to take pictures of my 1999 vintage hex sockets (even the ones that never get used), and they all have "USA" stamped on them.

I have the 1/2 drive set in inch and metric. They are great.

I'm not a fan of the 3/8 drive. Stepped bits always break.

That is why I've been preaching not to buy stepped bits. I learned many moons ago.

The broken 3/16 that I have has been broken for at least 10 years and I refuse to buy another bit for it. So i keep it for a "teaching" tool for fellow GJ-ers. The Wright 1/8 bit (not shown) is too soft, rounds out too fast and a complete waste of money in my opinion.

Any hex under 5/32 is asking for trouble. A ratchet just puts too much torque on such a small tool.
