It is a shame. For example, Stanly Tools have been made in China for some time. The factories that employed these workmen are long gone. A crying shame.
Beginning in 2010, hand tools manufactured for Craftsman by Apex Tool Group such as ratchets, sockets, and wrenches began being produced overseas (mainly in China although some are produced in Taiwan), while tools produced for Craftsman by Western Forge such as adjustable wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers and larger mechanic tool sets remain made in the United States.
Sears had moved to China long before then - Craftsman stuff was often made by Danaher prior to 2010 and Sears told them they should move their contract work to China. Apex is a relatively new contractor.
For tools, I go to Harbor Freight now.
