I also use Wiha drivers at work but Peter will still be unhappy. While they are not made in China, they are also not made in USA. They are German.

I used to use Xcelite made in USA but hey are poor quality compared to Wiha and to add insult, they cost more.


Not so much on the German or Swiss stuff. That will be premium, and I concede that need for those that need that level of ultra-reliability. When I was working as a machinist - and signing off on aircraft parts (full signature, not initials), the tools I used were either Swiss, German, or Starrett-level American. And those things that measured got calibrated every quarter..

Point being that if one needs tools of that quality, one has few choices.
