As soon as I buy it, the 10mm will disappear before I get it out of the bag. That's just how it works.

Standard is $20 reduced to $15 after coupon. Deep well is $30 and $22.50 after coupon. It says that in the post. You must have clicked on the deep wells.

I had Amex Blue Cash offer $10 back for $40 at AAP in-store and online and these two sets with the tax came out at $40.02 total, so I' getting them for $30. This beats even Harbor Freight deals

Thanks. I bought both for 3/8 and 1/4. They should be great quality sockets for the money.

While Apex has moved some Gearwrench manufacturing to China with an accompanying drop in quality, I believe that these socket sets are all still made in Taiwan. Great quality and great price!

Edit: according to post #42, these are now made in China too.

All of the GearWrench sockets and ratchets I've purchased have been made in Taiwan and what I'd consider "tool truck quality." The only thing from GearWrench that I specifically recall being made in China was their Torx socket set (Tractor Supply had a great every day price that was much less than Amazon and Advance even with a coupon). So, every "regular" socket from GW - at least that I've ever found - has been made in Taiwan.

The above said, it would be great to buy Made in USA sockets, but offerings from Snap-On, SK, or Matco are just too expensive and there's not enough of a material difference between the sockets to justify the much higher cost. Also, USA made Craftsman (from the Sears days) are sadly no longer an option. Soooo... for me, GearWrench has been the next best option. I'd compare GearWrench to Harbor Freight's ICON line of sockets.

I've typically always picked my my GW tools from Advance Auto with coupons. Hard to beat the quality/price but it is getting a little harder to warranty with stores not carrying the GW inventory like they used to.

Husky, Kobalt, Craftsman might be a little easier in that respect - walk-in/walk-out with a replacement.

That said, the finish and quality on my ratchets, wrenches, and sockets has been pretty great. Never had an issue as a weekend warrior. Fit and finish goes up with tool truck brands, but the performance increase is marginal to me as an occasional user. Pros may have a different perspective, but nothing is guaranteed to *never* break.

Should be five 10mm in every set
