I’m confused what you mean by, “ring nose” pliers?

Are you talking about retaining ring pliers or long, hose pliers?

Pro America extra long nose pliers appear to be made in the USA. There are sets for sale on eBay. A search of Garagejournal pulls up a thread from a few years back where users back up the claim that they are in fact USA made and were placed in military tool kits.

Is that the only brand?

Hopefully you get the answer you seek. I'm curious what is wrong with your pliers that you hope a COO change will remedy?

I just checked my hose ring pliers.

Snap-on are Made in USA
Mac no designation but quality is slightly better than the Snap-on.

I didn't ask about relics.

Present day available now...

Show me a snap on set...hell single pair... that's made in USA.
Mac as well.

They don't exist.

As far as I can tell, yes.

I would imagine the Snap On’s are USA made, but I don’t mess with Snap On.

MAC’s are imported from Taiwan, that much I do know.

I have the Carlyle’s. Taiwan made and they are excellent quality, but I do understand why COO would be a concern. I’m that way with my Craftsman tools. They MUST be USA made.
