So you're just trying to stir up the same old ****, or what?
Nope. Just informing those who don't know yet. I have that right, right?

What is new about this? They Chinese made raised panels have been out for more than a year and there have been several threads about it. Is there a new version or something?
I just found out yesterday. Wasn't aware of older threads.

After being here for awhile now I see no reason to go to Sears for my tool needs, American made or not. There are just too many better options out there for my hard earned $$$.

We just had a huge thread about this that died down only recently.

Pictures of the USA vs. Chinese made Combination Wrenches... including that finish you speak of. Have fun reading through that thing! I didn't expect my 'review' to garner so much feedback!

I missed that one! Great thread. The pics you took were great! Amazing and disconcerting how many of us support the Chinese ****. My suspicion is that we do it for argument's sake alone. Claiming that a lobster claw wrench is equal to the older US non lobster claw counterpart is downright inane.
No ****, right!! I totally agree.

Tell me about it, I went to a friends house for a dinner party,the friend is a Farmer that works on machines and cars. When I told him how fortunate he was to have american made craftsman instead of the current line-up his jaw dropped down three inches and the look on face was a ghastly pale white.
That night he stopped by his sears and I swear I could hear crying 55 miles away.

Now that is funny. LOL
I went to SEARS a few months ago just to get a set of USA RP wrenches in Metric. There was only two USA sets left. I'm glad I got my RP's when I did. Have no reason to go to SEARS anymore.

If you still want a USA made set take a look in your local Kmart stores. I have found several sets of USA made ones in mine.

or go to a pawn shop. Every pawn shop around here has at least 20 sets of the USA made rp
I picked up the last 2 USA made double box end wrenches in 1 1/8 - 1 5/16 and 1 1/16 - 1 1/4 raised panel wrenches they had in the Sears down the street from me (I am within 10 miles of 7 stores and 3 Sears Outlets)...
Everything else in that store is China made now...
