Park Tools made in China :(

I'm bummed. All my older Park Tools say, "Park Tool USA" - I thought that was their dang NAME...

I just ordered a large kit of Park Tool products from Jenson and all these new tools only say, "Park Tool" on them now - did they change their name?

Well, it seems the "nicer" - (more expensive) stuff I got are Made in the U.S.A., but this SBS-1 Socket and Bit Set is Made in China!

I've personally had very bad luck with Chinese Tools, and vowed many, many years ago to never go down that road again, so I stick with trusted brands, like Snap-On, or (so I thought) Park Tools.

Anyone have any experience with their Chinese line? Should I just instantly return this set? What a bummer. I guess Caveat Emptor, even with trusted companies!
