I've dug up old posts about Urrea tools and they're is mixed reviews. Does anyone have new input about them? Mainly about hand tools.

Have you found them in current catalogs? They faded from the consumer market in Mexico.
Last catalog I found was 2012.
The hand tools are /were well made. It was Proto made in Mexico many years. Solid stuff under both names.
A lot of it remains in current use with older mechanics.

Im in Guadalajara now. I saw a store on the way to the airbnb that advertised they sold the brand. I can grab an uber and check it out.

Some tools are made in their Mexican factories like their hardline, but a large portion of them are rebranded from other manufacturers.

Good to know they are still in business, at least on the industrial side of the business.
I lost a source of them locally about ten years ago, we just started buying what local sellers had.
It is really good stuff. But they priced it accordingly in a market where most shadetree mechanics really couldn't afford it.

Man, I've been running a few Urrea sockets and a combination wrench set in my main box for a couple of years now, and they honestly don't get enough credit. Everyone always jumps straight to Proto or Wright when talking about industrial-grade stuff, but Urrea is a total sleeper brand.
The finish on them is definitely more utilitarian than jewelry, they're built to be hammered on, not looked at—but the steel is incredibly tough and the tolerances are tight. Plus, for the price point, the value is tough to beat if you want heavy-duty tools without paying the truck premium. Definitely a solid option if you're looking to expand the setup with stuff that can take a beating.

It looks like Guadalajara has some major factories here which I assume are using industrial line tools? Like a Proto.
