Williams ratcheting wrenches

[Brownsfan]

Are all Williams ratcheting wrenches made in Taiwan? I found a set at my local industrial tool supply store that says made in USA. Could this be a mis print? This place is usually pretty spot on when it come to their COO in the tool description. http://www.pts-tools.com/cgi/CGP2SR...PAHDID=000000039050926&PARDID=257667616129698 If not a USA tool this is what the description will look like. http://www.pts-tools.com/cgi/CGP2SR...PAHDID=000000039050926&PARDID=257667616129698

I'm thinking not US. Looking at the part number in the link and cross referrencing on feebay you get these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-JH-WILL...ltDomain_0&hash=item414c401b70#ht_2846wt_1172 better price made in Taiwan though (USA Williams will have a waving US Flag icon). I'd call or email the original OP's link and inquire. Good stuff wherever they come from.

Not US.....

A quick way to tell is to look in the JH Williams catalog. Your wrenches are;

Note how there is no "made in USA" label.

Versus;

See the label?

This is an easy way to check; look up your item on their website, and open the catalog page. If there is not a label, it is not USA.

They're Taiwan. If they don't have the Made in U.S.A. logo on the catalog page, they're imported.

Cheaper at toolsdelivered, and it says Taiwan.

I have those and the flex heads for home use they are Taiwan and exactly the same as the Blue Points that I have at work.

I think Armstrong makes the only Made in USA ratcheting wrenches. I've never tried them as the price is too much for my wallet however the pictures make me drool.

Proto introduced a USA made line this year. Supply is still tight for now so only Grainger has them currently. Grainger price is 2X normal.
