Maybe old info, but surprised at the manufacturing in USA. Don’t know if these are actually useful over common wrenches. Randomly picked a set just to show their advertising about the process and features.

I bought a set of the metric sizes a while back. They're a nice tool for the money. I haven't used them much but they do come in handy for certain jobs.Maybe old info, but surprised at the manufacturing in USA. Don’t know if these are actually useful over common wrenches.

I think you'll find them useful for what you're trying to do.
Wouldn't be surprised if they are the same. No way a company like Tekton, Lowes, etc can exclusively produce mid-range quality tools at the reasonably low prices they sell them for. To get these tools and at these prices, there's a manufacturer out there that's cranking out HUGE numbers of tools and private-labeling them for many, many different "brands". We have to remember that to 90% of consumers, they don't care that the exact same set of tools can be bought from Lowes / Home Depot / Harbor Freight / fill-in-many-other-names-here for $1.79 cheaper. They're in a store right now and plan to buy a tool right now, in most cases.
I've broken some cheap garbage steel tools over the years, mostly hand me downs, all of which came from China. So I'd say there is different quality steel used in tools. I seriously doubt Snap On, Hazet, Stahlwille, Proto, or some of the other quality tool makers are using the same quality steel that is used in some of the garbage coming from China.
I see that on Lowes site but Tekton doesn't get that specific on their own website's listings. Wonder where Lowes got that from or if they assumed it ?
My experience was good. I rounded a socket on the first try with my impact. I emailed them. He asked me how it happened, I replied back that it was my fault. It wasn’t impact rated but was disappointed I rounded it the first try. Next thing I knew there was a new socket in the mailbox
The Lowes description is from Tekton , somewhere. We make in Grand Rapids, we this and that, etc. Lowes isn't writing that. Tekton says entirely made in USA, this includes the material, or it will say with global materials.
Some stuff does come from overseas but Tekton states on their website where each product is made.
Would a brake line wrench crows foot fit? Perhaps get one of those pivot ratchets from HF too. *An “indexable head” ratchet. Lol.
