The wrench set was made in China? That sounds like their "Evolv" line of Chinese-made tools (which they used to call "Companion" but they switched to a new name and different packaging).
Sure, they've had certain Craftsman items made in China for years (jacks, for example, and odd stuff) but I've yet to see any of the mainstream wrenches/sockets made there. Or perhaps things are changing in a hurry.
This is the Craftsman branded wrench set I saw Made in China

Both of these things are clearly branded CRAFTSMAN yet made in China. The whole reason I buy craftsman hand tools are because they are affordable and made in the USA. It looks like I will have to buy way more [censored] at harbor freight. I can't afford pro tools and if I have to buy china [censored] the stuff at harbor freight is cheaper than sears.
