I decided to order two Proto sets: a combination set J1200H11T5 and a ratcheting set JSCRT-14S from Zoro. They should be here tomorrow so it will be interesting to see what I get.

I was not aware of this I have bought a few over the last few years and none of them have had the asd jaws although most have been larger than 1"
I got the industrial oxide finished ones but they also have matte chrome (same forgings) and T5 full polish (slightly shorter) models. Mine have been very functional so far.

Just a few things from HF. Added the glue gun to my growing 20V Bauer line of tools. Tried it our last night and it works just fine. Thick knee pad feels better under my old knees then the thinner ones I have. Haven't used the tester yet. They even had the gloves in stock. Last two times I...

ASD does not damage fasteners, here's an example from a Facom ad:
No, they are a major US tool manufacturer with a long history and most of their Proto branded stuff (wrenches, sockets, ratchets, etc.) is still made here. Blackhawk COO is similar to the other sub-brands like Blue Point or Blue Power.
Because they are part of Stanley Black & Decker (Mac, Facom, Expert, Sidchrome, Usag, etc.), a few things are shared like the Facom mechanism round head ratchets.

Most of their ratcheting wrenches are made in Taiwan. Most of the PROTO offerings are made in the USA but, there are exceptions like their locking pliers, insulated tools and other items since they share some items from other SBD brands like Facom.

I guess I will find out tomorrow. The website shows the COO as USA.

Ratcheting wrenches used to be USA and are now Taiwan-made. Regular Proto combo wrenches are USA-made. Blackhawk used to be USA but I don't know if they are even in production.

Sorry it has taken me so long to reply.
Here are some pictures of what I got. Proto set J1200H11T5, Proto set JSCRT-14S, and Wright set 715. They all have some sort of anti-slip design, I was hoping the ratcheting wrenches wouldn't. I also prefer the Wright denim tool roll over the Proto rolls.

Be advised, Blackhawk is being phased out.Blackhawk wrenches are made in USA and have smooth jaws.
