China has the most modern steel mills and factories in the world. The narrative that they just make "junk" is very outdated.

In only four words, you revealed that you don't know anything about tool brands or geography.
These are made in Taiwan, BTW.

I do a lot of wrenching but I can't think what the advantages of these are.

I needed bigger sizes then this kit had so I found a different one with a storage case and 19 pieces for $45, it worked for what I needed.

I used to think that. I kept looking at them thinking they'd be cool and I am sure they could be useful but I couldn't convince myself to just buy it and wait for a need for it. There are tools you buy because you need them at the moment or know you will use them. There are others you may want to buy in case the need arises and you get stuck. For me, the second happened here. I was working on replacing shocks/struts on my car this weekend. To remove the control arms I needed a 21mm wrench for the nut, but also a T-40 to hold the stud from spinning. Similar thing with the nut for the shocks and the struts, needing to use a torx or hex to hold the stud from spinning. I get away with that usually with my 1/4 impact (don't like using bigger and risk over torquing), but this time, it was not working great. I ordered the larger 19pc set from Amazon and made that work a ton easier.

Another use I found for these happened during that same suspension work. I found myself thinking I may need to buy combination wrenches bigger than the 19mm I had. When I got these, I realized I don't have to waste the space those would take for the very few occasions I'd need them working on my own cars. If I need a wrench bigger than 19mm where I can't use regular sockets, more than likely I can use the set I bought which goes up to 24". Really like that it goes from 6MM to 24MM without skips. Again, I am talking about the larger set, not this one linked. This one seems like a good deal too. I only went with the bigger set because I needed the larger sizes past 19mm.

Paired with their 3/8 nano socket ratchet, you will get into tighter spaces with no issues. I used mine to replace a belt tensioner on a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder couple weeks ago. A regular ratchet and socket would not fit in that spot.

Now, there is someone who wrenches and knows the use. These have saved me in more ways than one. I have the 1/2, 3/8 and recently picked up the 1/4.

You blame the factory when its the seller setting the standards. American consumers and our brand of capitalism are the problem.

That is more a competitor of their "no skip" set which is $60. Can't speak to the quality of yours but nice find if it is comparable!

I do not do a lot of wrenching. But this helped me a lot when doing my 2019 Honda pilot timing belt and water pump replacement. I dropped the 17mm and almost cried because I could not find it. It is great for people like me I guess.

If it is junk, it is good enough for a light DIYer like me. But so far it feels and looks great.
