Your choices are tekton, Wilde or Williams if your an industrial supplier who snapon or matco won't deal withI think because tekton is one the last seller of US made screwdrivers, they're going to start showing up at more suppliers since Pratt Reed is no more.
Or Proto, Klein, Wright, Stanley…….. Stanley 100’s are very common in the industrial supplier world.Your choices are tekton, Wilde or Williams if your an industrial supplier who snapon or matco won't deal with
Proto moved to france with mac to combine production with facom and usag, I think stanley is or has made a similar moveOr Proto, Klein, Wright, Stanley…….. Stanley 100’s are very common in the industrial supplier world.
Damn, must be some old stock still out there on the 100’s….just got one a couple weeks ago marked USA. Gonna go root through the warehouse and stock up while I can.U.S. made Stanley 100 Pluses were discontinued in 2015 now being made in Taiwan. Stanley still makes their basic "fluted" line and better vinyl grip line here albeit with foreign steel blades that are partially or fully manufactured here which sell for $13 and $16 respectively at HD. Great Neck also has screwdrivers with U.S. made handles with foreign steel blades that they make for Kobalt and Hyper Tough the only difference between them is that Kobalt has more sizes and has a lifetime warranty and the Hyper Tough has only a 5 year warranty. Great Neck sells under their own name at Auto Zone.
I don’t know if was officially confirmed, but isn’t Wilde the manufacturer for Tekton screwdrivers?Your choices are tekton, Wilde or Williams if your an industrial supplier who snapon or matco won't deal with
I buy direct from Tekton here and there, and he is correct - free shipping. The last time i just ordered 1 socket (to replace a missing one), and it shipped free - all my impact sockets are Tektons.If you want Tekton, buy directly from Tekton. It will be cheaper than M-C, include free shipping, and give you bonus points for future purchases.
I think so not certain obviouslyI don’t know if was officially confirmed, but isn’t Wilde the manufacturer for Tekton screwdrivers?
The only reason to go to mcmaster here is if your doing corporate spend where vendors can be limited and it can be a pain to add new onesIf you want Tekton, buy directly from Tekton. It will be cheaper than M-C, include free shipping, and give you bonus points for future purchases.
Nope. Wilde is out of the screwdriver business. I believe they got theirs from Pratt-Read as well. They do have wood-handle screwdrivers, which I think are made by Grace.I don’t know if was officially confirmed, but isn’t Wilde the manufacturer for Tekton screwdrivers?
Proto only claims that the handle is made in the US now. https://www.protoindustrial.com/en/...aTek™-19-Piece-Combination-Screwdriver-Set-/#Nope. Wilde is out of the screwdriver business.

I believe the Stanley cushion grip drivers may have also been made by Pratt-Read, and I think they have been discontinued. The Proto/Mac Duratek drivers are still made in the USA (last I heard, anyway). The 100-plus drivers are now made in Taiwan, but they are still very good.
Williams/Snap-on and Klein still make their drivers in the USA. Some of Klein's multi-bit drivers are Taiwan-sourced, or have Taiwan-sourced bits, etc, which seems to be common for pretty much all multi-bit drivers these days.
Enderes still makes some of their flip-shank (5-in-1) drivers in the USA.
Mayhew has some Torx screwdrivers that are made in the USA, and I hope they expand to a full lineup. They bought out Bestway a couple of years ago.
Wiha has some 6-in-1 and 11-in-1 drivers that are marketed as made in the USA, but only the handles are made here.
Great Neck makes Kobalt (acetate handle) and HyperTough screwdrivers in the US, using foreign and domestic parts. The Pep-Boys Great Neck screwdrivers are the same as the acetate Kobalt drivers. Great Neck's A, AA and G series drivers seem to be discontinued, and replaced with the orange handled ones, which I do not believe are made in USA.
Their now made in FranceProto only claims that the handle is made in the US now. https://www.protoindustrial.com/en/industrial-tools/Proto/Screwdrivers-&-Hex-Keys/Screwdriver-Sets/J1219SC_Proto®-DuraTek™-19-Piece-Combination-Screwdriver-Set-/#
Interesting. They must have been sourcing the shanks from Pratt-Read.Proto only claims that the handle is made in the US now. https://www.protoindustrial.com/en/industrial-tools/Proto/Screwdrivers-&-Hex-Keys/Screwdriver-Sets/J1219SC_Proto®-DuraTek™-19-Piece-Combination-Screwdriver-Set-/#
I know that they are made in France now, but I think that listing meant "HANDLE" as a heading because a few points down they have "SHANK."Proto only claims that the handle is made in the US now. https://www.protoindustrial.com/en/industrial-tools/Proto/Screwdrivers-&-Hex-Keys/Screwdriver-Sets/J1219SC_Proto®-DuraTek™-19-Piece-Combination-Screwdriver-Set-/#
Yes it does look like it to me as well. Also there is a US flag to the right that states "Made in the USA, with global materials" if you hover the mouse over it.I know that they are made in France now, but I think that listing meant "HANDLE" as a heading because a few points down they have "SHANK."
