Gearwrench is straight. I prefer it over current Craftsman for sure. Plus with Sears going under, I don’t like buying bigger money Craftsman stuff because I’m not convinced I will be able to warranty it if it breaks in 5-10 years. Most Gearwrench stuff is Taiwan made which is better than Chinese crap. Apex is the brand that owns Gearwrench, they also own Crescent and Allen and some other companies and I have been satisfied with all of their tools.

A lot of people like Tekton now too. Everything is affordable on Amazon and most of that is Taiwanese. If you want to spend a little more without breaking the bank, Williams makes nice stuff as well. It’s Snap On’s Industrial brand. Some of it is US made, the rest is Taiwan made along with Blue Point.

DeWalt and Milwaukee’s new lines of hand tools are nice too but all of the Milwaukee stuff seems slightly overpriced.
