Hey guys, get a clue... of course they're made in Taiwan. The country of Taiwan holds the patent on ratcheting wrenches like these. Look at any wrench set, Craftsman or otherwise and they'll likely have been made in Taiwan or else a very hefty premium will have been paid to manufacture them out of their country. Now, for what they do and how this set works, they're 5 stars. I have had many a time when I had to reach into some unseen place and fumble with a socket set that didn't fit or a wrench that had to be taken off and then on before rotation again. These things area great. I haven't had a problem with them and they work on only a 5 degree rotation. The "spline" is the cat's meow as they work on bolt heads that are stripped up to 50% (5 different bolt heads work; as the "teeth" on the splines grip the flats of the head, not the corners).

These are some of the best wrenches I've got in my collection. I was about to get similar wrenches through Snap On when I spotted these on Amazon for only like 80 bucks on sale. I had heard good things about SK tools before so I thought I would give them a try. Had I not read the previous posters review I would have never known these were not made in the USA. I have a big lift in my garage and rent out time up on the lift to my friends, they have all commented on these wrenches after using them. The finish is great, the ratcheting teeth are very very fine, work great in tight spaces and the open ended side really does a pretty good job of taking off rounded off fasteners. A trick I've learned is to not use the spanner for constantly wrenching on nuts/bolts otherwise you will take a good bolt and round it off. However, what does work if there is a nut giving you troubles, pop the spanner on there and give it a couple brisk firm open palm hits and bam, lots of torque breaking that nut loose.
