> Plus, Gearwrench is not american made, it is Taiwanese. Good tools, but your statement is factually incorrect.

I think that's just ambiguous wording. Try parsing it like this:

> I'd suggest ((Gearwrench) or (Tekton, Wright or Williams (same manufacturer as Snap On) if you want American made.))

It's just crappy wording on my part. I was unsure if Tekton was also Taiwanese so I omitted country of origin on the first two. To clarify:

Gearwrench, Tekton and some Williams wrenches: Asia-made, reasonably priced, more than adequate for hobbyist use.

Wright and some Williams wrenches: US-made, more expensive but cheaper and more available than Snap-on, marketed towards industrial applications instead of professional mechanics.

Tekton doesn't make any tools, but source them from other manufacturers. So they have some Taiwanese, some Chinese, and some US made. Most of the pliers and all of the punches come from Wilde, a US manufacturer.
