My 1/2" drive Craftsman (and my 3/8" micro-torque) were both made in USA....and cost accordingly! (over $75 apiece.

) Got the small one during a holiday half off sale though.

Harbor freight will usually endlessly exchange things....if no receipt then you can pick from store credit or a direct exchange. I've done it many times.....that's probably not a good sign.

I liked the comment about "Shanghai Frieght"

So true...

I just bought a 2-ton engine crane there a few weeks ago for a measly $170......the thing weighs over 250lbs!

Works perfect though....it did not flex or strain at all, even with a whole 617+trans hanging from it!
