The growing issue for GearWrench is that they have been moving manufacturing from Taiwan to China and very difficult to know without actually viewing where they discreetly hide it on their new packaging. If it was not an issue, they would have kept where made right on the front or back at the bottom.

I don't turn wrenches to often, but I seem to have these wrenches brake . When they do, I go online and get a replacement which takes weeks if not months to get.
Sears back in the day was pretty good.
update,
odd how people give a thumps down for speaking the truth about one's own experience.
Simply for me, I don't buy Gearwrench products anymore. I have had to many of their ratcheting wrenches fail. Now considering I use my Milwaukee ratcheting screwdriver daily without a problem, Gearwrench is not quality tools in my experience.
I really wish we could agree to drop the SAE bullshit and go metric everything. While we are at it, kill Phillips and go Torx everything.

I completely agree with metric and torx.... Torx is so much better to work with, especially if corrosion is involved.
I cannot say Taiwan manufacturing was great in comparison to US or German manufacturing, but for me, I would rather support a country of people that don't want to become ruled by far left wing Communists. Competition is so great in China, that cheating on quality until caught is an accepted practice.... that is more the normality than not. I am not saying all Chinese are bad people, because they are not, but those running businesses and manufacturing deal in a cutthroat environment that government owns a piece of, or all of it. There is incentive to make a profit no matter how, when the consequences are often devastating.
PS: Every time anyone posts anything negative about Communist China, there are immediate down votes.... they must troll all social media sites.

I do agree that typically, the more points of contact on a fastener, the better. But, for less than quality fasteners prone to rusting/corrosion, you are still going to be drilling them out... impossible in a reasonable time frame to get all the corrosion out of a medium to small Torx for a decent fit, but you can for a Phillips. It seems like most everything has pros and cons with likes and dislikes and why the 100 different types of bits in sets.... me, I like Allen fasteners; 6 sides inside or outside like bolts.
