That's a big no for me, even for the price.

If they were made here I'd buy, but not if they're made in China.
The Taiwanese COO is why I passed on the MAC.

I don't know if you can even find a set of these prybars that are made in America. The price is very good, and they are handy little tools.
My problem is that I keep losing the damn things faster than I can replace them  -- LOL

Hopefully WILDE will eventually step up and start manufacturing an affordable American option.

I just placed a new order for more pry bars.

I find they are great to give technicians who come to the house to service appliances, security systems, ....

The ADT tech was very appreciative.

Tomorrow, a Maytag repair tech. has one coming if the washer gets repaired.  :great:

Oh, I forgot to mention the gift: a Pocket Partner Fixed Blade Screwdriver with magnet, that was included in the last order.

Thank you!  :c029:

I got one of these in my GGSS package from SK this year and overall the quality is pretty decent.
I wouldn't have purchased one, but it is a decent little tool.
The only major flaw is the clip, excusable for the price but still not a very good clip either way because it's flimsy and not attached that well.


I went ahead and popped the clip off then made a better one that I attached with screws.

I took apart this crappy little novelty liner lock knife I had laying around for the screws and the little threaded spacers.
Pressed the spacers into undersized holes I drilled, and screwed on the little clip I took from a dried up pilot precise v5 pen and modified it.

I did this mostly as a trial before I go through with the modification on one of the 4 Mayhew mini pry bars I ordered.
