US Made Fan/Clutch tool?

[AmericanMechanic]

is there a US-made option? Or is Lisle the best available?

I thought the Lisle was made in USA?

Might depend on model? I thought one at Oreilly didn't specify which indicated imported, and one listing online says China. Maybe it depends on the model?

A couple of links for the 43300 (what I have) suggest USA made but it's not specified on Lisle's site:
DWT link
Ebay link

Amazon also lists origin as USA. Maybe check there also if looking at a different model?

Schley Tools fan clutch tools are made in the USA the last time I checked.

I'm not sure where the current Lisle pneumatic fan clutch set is made these days. Most, if not all. of my new Lisle tool purchases are not US made.

Thank you! I had not heard of Schley but their universal wrench appears to be USA made and may be just the ticket.

I will say this - it is 100% dependent on what you are working on! If it is a 6.0 F-250.......it literally will not matter WHAT country it is made! I bought a Lisle fan clutch wrench set to replace my fan clutch on my 6.0, and it crumbled INSTANTLY and couldn't touch the amount of torque I needed to get it off. I had to create a Frankenstein tool to finally get it off..........I ended up modifying a random Amazon fan clutch tool to get it to release. Worst experience EVER!
