My Craftsman are all old enough to be made in the USA also. I can’t recall how many ratchets I returned for new ones but eventually started just buying other brands. One was as bad as the last. My wrenches I still use and like. Just never had the Craftsman flare nut wrenches and now I am willing to cough up the extra for good ones after my experience on this project. I should say this is probably the most need I have ever had for those wrenches though. 😁
