I just exchanged a 3/8 drive flex-head ratchet, as the gears in mine were wore out. I was disappointed when I flipped the package over. "Made in China" I am not a professional wrench turner, but I do almost all my own repairs and occasionally repairs for others. Other than the truck vendors like Snap-On, Mac, Matco, and Cornwell, is there still a "Made in USA" brand of hand tools for the do it yourselfer that is as easy to return for a replacement? I am not a fan of the HF/Pittsburgh tools. I tried that once, and I refuse to go down that road again for hand tools. Does anyone have experience with the house brands of Menards (Masterforce), Lowes (Kobalt), or if Home Depot has a line of hand tools? Where are they made? Am I right to assume that Stanley, who purchased Craftsman, would be made in China as well? Maybe the best solution is to go to some pawn shops? Thanks for your input.
