This could be a long one. First, I don't think a nut knows what country the wrench is from. Second, I have had very poor luck with their smaller air tools, die grinders, etc. I notice that they are coming out with new "brands" all the time. I haven't had much experience with them, but my friend's reports are good. Before thinking of any big purchase (that's over $50.00 for me) I have learned to look through YouTube, there seems to be a few honest people who review the HF tools. A few years ago, I was looking for a small lathe. I picked up an article which compared all of them HF and a few others. The article made the point that even though some were better than others (HF not at top of list) they all came from the same factory in China. The makers knew perfectly well how to build a lathe, but they built them to specs supplied by the retailer. Better specs, better machine. In the end, I bought a 1943 South Bend 9", couldn't be happier.
