Now $89.99 ....
Maybe some older stock from a few years ago were made in Taiwan, but just looked and I bought these 3 sets in October of 2019.... so I have to guess that all being sold today are made in China.
Gearwrench is going to be just like Sears with their Craftsman warranty.... you will be trading in a decent quality tool for a junk replacement tool. It will really suck if Knipex starts outsourcing like some Metabo went. "Here Sir, a brand new replacement for your broken German made for a 'superior' Chinese knock off model." ... kind of along the lines of 'resistance is futile.'

I was going to send this link to some friends until I saw the 'Made in China' comments. I'm not super old but I'm at the point where I don't have time to mess with junk tools. Get halfway into a job and it shears like it's made of stale licorice. Then deal with the replacement that is a sloppily remanufactured, cost-down version? Nah. Why not just by 3x of everything from Harbor Freight at that point for the same money.
Anyway... I can at least say the original version of this set is awesome. They grip well and I haven't broken a single one yet. The case is also handy because it comes apart and fits in my drawers as-is, and I can put it back together and close it up if I have to go work outside of the shop. The etching on the sockets is super easy to read as a bonus.

That said, HF has improved their game with better grades from Taiwan; maybe the old Gearwrench factories that moved to China. As well, there are hundreds of items in the store that are made in the USA.
