They sure got panned in the customer reviews.

I have a set of the Gearwrench ratcheting wrenches (no adjustable elbow) that I use at work and they are awesome. In four years of daily use I've only busted three of them, the 5/16th twice and the 9/16 on a bolt that turned out to be welded in place. Oops.

Yeah I just read a few reviews, these appear to be made in China crapola, rather disappointing.

yep. I just got a set of the ratcheting open ended ratchets. I was very dissappointed that every other craftsman wrench I own says made in the USA,, Till now.

I actually got a set of these for christmas. They're def made in china, and you can tell that they are not made in the US. There's just a different feel and finish quality to American. However, I still find them very useful and believe that the versatility and price make them worth it. These suckers are seriously great for tight places! Oh yeah, and Lifetime warranty ftw! In addition, Ace now carries craftsman! I have an ace 5 min away. The nearest Sears is about 40 min away.
