We seem to have breezed right past manufacturers who raise prices without tangible inflation or materials increases. (tip: Williams is mentioned, but not with any detail of understanding.) Texton being transparent is a value that could be embraced, but leads to confusion.

For me the red handled pick set and angle wrenches - the USA/Canadian made stuff IMHO is a good value still ... this also includes some of the pliers, screwdrivers, the rebranded Trusty Cook dead blows (due to the warranty), Rousseau made boxes, etc. The Taiwan stuff is starting to get expensive from a value proposition relative to other Taiwanese focused brands like Icon, Gearwrench, VIM, Capri, Sunex etc (not including overpriced Carlyle though).
Ok, so Trusty Cook is still making the ball pein dead blow hammers for Tekton?
I know they did, just though it might have changed.

You can get most of the Amazon sockets in a few days, and in many cases, the next day or overnight, free shipping. Additionally, you can get the socket the same day at Menard's, HD, Lowe's, HF etc., so not sure why you want to pay extra for Tekton.
But are Menard's, HD, Lowe's, and HF tools just as good as Tekton?
I was under the impression Tekton was a step above.
