Is this coupon code for a particular store? you don't say
There are some good deals to be had by stacking the coupon code onto the sale items. I've linked directly to the sale page below. Free shipping over $99 as well, otherwise a flat rate of $6.99 shipping applies. They don't add sales tax (yet), except probably in MN.

Attention @akatsuki This might be a good sale for you.
Thank you for sharing it. The coupon stacks with their sale items. Free swag too.

You can grab the SKU off their site and search. Usually COO comes up in Amazon Q&A or Reviews. In this case, the metric combo wrenches are made in Taiwan according to one review. No info there on the SAE set, but I found in on KC Tool's website indicating Taiwan as well.

I also am interested to compare these to the Knipex version. Thanks for any feedback.
What a deal on Wiha 92191!!!!!!! Even after the 25% off your still spending $13 more vs Amazon.

Free shipping over $100 is BEFORE coupon so free shipping over $75. Same goes for the bonus swag.
This is $15 after the sale and coupon...

Actually, if they are made in Taiwan, Tekton has a similar set for $45, made in Taiwan. With free shipping and points. So those Wiha's aren't a great deal, assuming they're made in T.
Need to shop and compare pricing...
It's probably Taiwan as well. I couldn't find that set, but I did find the SKU for the combined set with SAE and Metric together and that is listed as Taiwan.

Wiha makes good drivers, maybe not quite as good as PB Swiss tips but I prefer their handles. I suspect wrenches and perhaps pliers as well are not going to compare favorably to the known top brands. As usual no one brand makes the top everything, as we just saw in the Snap-on precision pliers thread.
Indeed, I like the Wiha divers/tips too. I have a set of their side cutters, not bad but nothing really noteworthy either.

15 or so years ago I ordered a huge set of their pliers and their drivers. Kept the drivers. I returned all the pliers. They had just started making their pliers outside of Germany... I thought they were made in Mexico but maybe I'm remembering incorrectly... or maybe they changed COO again.
The drivers are great though. And the handles are larger than Felo and Wera and PB Swiss (and not oddly shaped like Wera). Nicely machined tips with crisp edges. The tips have a roughened surface which is hard chromed so the finish doesn't wear off after a couple uses like paint or black oxide or phosphate coatings.
I have Vessel and PB Swiss and Felo and Wera too. They all have pluses and minuses but for the price it's difficult to beat Wiha Softfinish.

I'm going to repost in the Hot Deals section, with credit to you. I missed the deal on the BOGO Astro's because it wasn't posted over there. I only visit the discussion area when I have more time to read more in depth threads, vs a couple times a day for Hot Deal checking.
They've had a few iterations of pliers.
The oldest I've seen were Orbis with a different colorway.
For a while some were branded "Swiss Made." I don't know who the OEM was, but these are some of the nicest pliers I've tried. The needlenose is especially nice, and I've tried all of 'em at this point. Based on the joints they were not Orbis-made.
Later they moved most of their pliers to their Vietnam plant. I have not used those.
More recently they took their precision pliers in house. Previously they were Schmitz in a different colorway.
Wiha "Inomic" ls German-made. I'm on the fence about them. They're very bulky. I like Orbis EvoTel better than Inomic needlenose and NWS ErgoMulti better than Inomic combi. Inomic sidecutter would be very nice if it had cable shear jaws. I don't find sidecutters generally that useful.

Taking a closer look at the sale tonight.
Thank you.
I have some Wiha water pump pliers made in Germany. I think I've had them for more than 15 years. Wonder if Orbis made them... I'm not real familiar with the brand.

My Wiha insulated needlenose are Vietnam. Won't buy from them again, I'll spring for the Knipex.
This is the one that I've got. Wiha included it as a gift with orders over a certain dollar amount.
NWS is the OEM. Google "techno plus wasserpumpenzange" to confirm.

Tried at 3 places including KCtools, wihatools.com was the only one accepting the 25% discount code, which just cost me $47 for Lineman's wire cutter combo #30941
