Figured since we got the cordless tool trivia why not include the rest of the tools here.
I suppose I will start.

that one British company that also makes the DeWALT wrenches? Can’t remember the name of the company.

Williams made the original Kobalt USA ratchets. Blue Point and Williams still make that style of ratchet but in Taiwan instead of the USA. They are really nice ratchets if you add some Superlube in them.
Later the Kobalt ratchets stayed in the USA but were made by Danaher, those ratchets were not very good.
Right now Kobalt has ratchets made in Taiwan and China. The particular one’s I’m asking about are made in Taiwan and are very good quality…there is a major annoyance in the design, the lever is backwards.
Let’s not let this thread die: The answer is Toptul.
New question: Who is the OEM for Knipex screwdrivers?
I have no idea. KC Tool?
Felo ?

They’re made in German but not Felo.
Ah 🙂 Belgium has thesame rep for felo/knippex so that was my lead 😀

I wonder if that will change now that Felo will have a larger plier presence with the rebranded NWS pliers.

Hope not ! Felo’s rep is a good guy 😀
any other guesses?
No idea. A little outside of my price range for picks/small prybars.
Witte!
Ok, let’s go domestic. Who makes Craftsman acetate made in USA screwdrivers?
sears?
Not sure but I’m going to go with Pratt-Reed as a safe guess.

That was correct before the current manufacturer started making them…though the one I’m looking for may no longer be producing tools for them, I presume they pulled out after Sears started sourcing most of their pliers from China.
Guesses?
Oh if they’re pulling out probably over the lawsuit. I would go with Western forge. I thought they were just oem for pliers but I learn something new each day.

Correct! You’re up!
OTC is a well known manufacturer of pullers. The company that purchased them (SPX) was purchased by which larger company?
Hint: O2 Sensors
@Stercorarius Fluke?
Bosch?
@BMack37 is correct. The hint references the fact that Bosch invented the O2 sensor.

Neat. I knew they made O2 sensors since I installed four of them last year, but didn’t know they invented them.
Yeah Bosch invented a whole slew of auto parts.
Bosch makes everything! They’re a pretty safe guess on any car part like that.
New question:
Klein mostly has their high end pliers made in the USA but they have a pair made in Germany, by whom?
Knippex ?
NWS?
Wera
