Well I wish I hadn't started this thread now. I posted it because I had just ordered a set of new Craftsman ratchet ended metric wrenches from Amazon and in going to the Craftsman website before I ordered noticed that their stuff is now US made. And I further read that they had opened that new 450,000 sq. ft. tool manufacturing plant in Ft. Worth in 2019. My new wrenches got here yesterday and while they are not junk they are not the quality of the old Craftsman tools I have, almost all of which are forty or fifty years old. There is no indication on these new wrenches where they were made so I suspect they are older stock the vendor had and not brand new items out of the Ft. Worth plant? These new wrenches will serve for me but are now the quality I expected cosmetically. I almost never buy hand tools anymore but am going to start looking at what other brands look like when I am in hardware stores.
