Gear wrench is china made like the new craftsman. Found the tire irons, and the old skool parks have served me well for thirty years (may the do the same for you). Bits are kobalt, the same ones i bought for our co-op. Again same quality as the new craftsman. I'll see the snap-on truck tomorrow, and look for a a better ratchet. Do yourself a favor though* and go look in the local pawn shop for some of the tools you will be replacing, i think i paid about $3 for those gear wrench items and they are $15 on the gw truck. Smiles, mh
*couldn't resist after 8+ hours of hearing old phone calls today in the shop
