Kobalt ratchet question
« on: January 10, 2013, 11:11:43 AM »
I just picked up a Kobalt 3/8" ratchet. It's older and I believe USA made. They were made by JH Williams I hear.
Anyone have info on that period of Kobalt or Williams? 15 years ago maybe? When did they go overseas?

It's a nice ratchet anyway.

Sorry about the lack of photo

Williams produced the Kobalt stuff from 1998 to 2003, when Danaher took over. Recently (I'm not sure when), production moved overseas...

The Williams stuff was highly-regarded, but I have never personally seen it, so I cannot comment...
