i was in the local pawn shop today and noticed a magna 40pc tap & die set made in usa #96501 for $75 . it looked to be unused or very lightly used.couldnt spot any wear at all.i asked whats the best he could do.he said $60 out the door.bought it and came home and googled it $312 for the same set except made in china now.

I have that same set, bought it off eBay for a good price. It's a really nice set, you did good! Funny enough, when I opened the plastic wrap, it had an extra tap marked craftsman, so apparently they made the USA version for sears at some point.

You might think this strange but I thought that Tap & Die set from Magna was a dewalt product am I missing something?
