[QUOTE="86merc, post: 11570598, member: 82554"] Would I rather have a USA made part? Of course I would. But I would not say the quality is worse on the Chinese made items. It may or may not be. Depends on what Sears requests and approves. Not every thing made some where else besides the USA is automatically 'junk'. I went in to Sears to buy the thin profile wrenches like above. I did happen to catch the one was made in China. I though for a second and decided to buy a 3/8" & 1/2" in both USA and China versions. I have not used the USA versions other than the first day to see the difference. Which I didn't feel a difference. The Chinese versions have been in use for what has to be 6 months now. I have not had one issue. Not once did I fear for my knuckles pulling hard on them because I was afraid the mechanism may let go smashing my hand into the part I am working on. I am not a mechanic by trade. But I do a fair amount of work in my garage on cars. I am not saying the should be made here, they should be cheaper if made over seas, they are just as good or better. I am just sharing what I have encountered so far. [/QUOTE]
