Man I had knipex in the cart and was kind of excited. The more I walked around I kept askin myself has the channelocks ever let me down? For what I do, they are good value. I was getting wrapped up in the marketing or forum hype. I like blue handles better anyway.

I hear ya!
My main things in what I look for in a tool is basically a combination of three things......"Quality, Durability & Reliability".
Yes that's important too me, regardless of what anyone else may say.
I don't mind paying $ for high end tools because of those three factors stated above. That's really what I'm paying for, definitely not the name brand. I always inquire from the manufacturer where exactly their tools are made at and either they tell me or tell to check out their videos on how their tools are made.
As for where the tool(s) is actually made...well as long as it's not China, India or Southeast Asia, etc......my collection of go to, good tools is a mixture made here in the U.S.A...from Switzerland....from Japan...from Germany and from Italy.
Yes I do have a few tools that say made in China but those tools only get used sparingly when the job it not real important, etc.
