Are these made in the USA?

No they aren't. Very few Blackhawk items, if any, are USA made. USA made items will have an American flag logo on the page on Proto's website. http://www.protoindustrial.com/en/i...2"-Drive-16-Piece-Hex-Bit-Impact-Socket-Set-/
These for instance have the flag logo.

Nope, made in Taiwan. They're god but, not US made. I have the 3/8 drive set and like them a lot.

Generally impacts are overseas, chrome are US. Regular wrenches are US, ratcheting are overseas. It's a mixed bag.

Yes. I ordered a couple of replacement 1/2" drive chrome sockets last month, and they are still stamped 'USA'.

If Taiwan doesn't bother you...

Try Sunex...

Lots of good impacts, for not a lot...

The mostest for the leastest!!!

I own a bunch of Blackhawk ratchets, sockets, feeler gages, all made in the US. Once I had a problem, dropped an email to Stanley and a replacement was in the mail that day, no questions asked.

edit, also if you want to know COO of anything Proto, check their website. If it's USA, it'll say.

Only thing American is Proto, Proto's older cheaper brands are now all foreign stuff.

Some blackhawk stuff is still USA made.

Got a couple sets of those I use everyday. Id take them all day long over say sk gearwrench etc. A lot of blackhawk is taiwan unfortunately but still decent. USA stuff is good quality for a fair price.

I too have a couple sets that are USA made, but the recent orders my coworkers have placed yielded Taiwan made wrenches. How long ago did you order yours? We get all our stuff from Grainger and the sockets, ratchets and combo wrenches have all been Taiwan made as of late.

I know you can still get USA made Blackhawk sockets off the Protoindustrial.com website.
