New to their lineup. I don't need any but at the price point I would probably try them if I did,

Manufactured in Taiwan with a $40 price point - they're shoveling sand against the tide going up against Midwest Snips at comparable price points.

Was my thought's too but was going to refrain from saying anything.

I can think of two American companies that would have probably produced private labeled snips for them.

They have done so in the past

Oh.. you mean the company that makes them for everyone else?
That's Midwest Snips.

There’s that whole “Tekton strives to increase their American made content” showing up again….

They stopped that so fast and just went to rebranding anything they could.

I'd only choose Tekton for anything a person would abuse and just use the warranty for replacement. It's internet Harbor Freight with a higher price to justify the convenience.

Tekton and Midwest both are within an hour of each other in Michigan also.

I’ll never not post this when the timing js right…

I’m John Amash, the CEO of Tekton, and I wanted to share exciting developments about our US manufacturing efforts.

More and more of our tools are now made in the US, through a combination of our in-house manufacturing operations and partnerships with some of the best contract manufacturers in the country.

The percentage of USA-made products in Tekton’s lineup is now over 20 percent, including angle wrenches, crowfoot wrenches, dead blow hammers, groove joint pliers, hard-handle screwdrivers, high-torque screwdrivers and nut drivers, pick and hook sets, and several tool storage products. Our next USA-made category will be flare nut crowfoot wrenches.

Our in-house manufacturing capabilities include CNC machining, broaching, laser engraving, vibratory polishing, and pressing. Although we maintain strict control over the materials, processes, and specifications everywhere we make our tools, we believe there’s no substitute for working in our own plant with our own equipment. So we’re working hard to expand our in-house manufacturing capacity.
