Ranger Tool Storage

[Brandon_Lutz]

Does anyone know where Ranger Tool Storage products are made? This is the tool storage line made by Bendpak Are they made here in the good ole US of A or made across in the pond in Taiwan or China?

Looking online at ASE Deals as I am in the market for a new chest and the prices seem good. Don't want to buy however until I know who I'm really supporting.

Anyone know? I've emailed their customer service department a couple of days ago as to the origin of boxes, but I haven't heard from them yet.

I'm willing to bet it isn't in the US.

Carefully read their "About Us" web page and you will figure it out.

Don't they all say it's a good thing though?

I kinda had hope as I read on their site that they opened a new "Distribution and Manufacturing site" in California.

Guess I'll stick to Waterloo for the future as that is what I can afford. Shame the new Kobalt boxes are all hecho en chine as they look to be nicely built, but I just can't bring myself to pull the trigger because of that fact.

It sounds like double talk to me.

*Update*

I finally got a reply from them:

"Our Ranger products are mfg and assembled at our facility here in Santa Paula, Ca. They come with a one year warranty on defects on material and workmanship."

So you could take it as this: Some products are built across the pond and then assembled in Santa Paula, or they are manufactured and assembled in Santa Paula.
