I have two CeeTee pliers, made in China. They're just as good as the CeeTees I have that are made in the USA. The Chinese Crescent stuff is, largely on par with the older USA stuff, even though I try to avoid any company that has outsourced (I paid like $2 a piece for the CeeTees when Tractor Supply marked them down).
To me, it's an interesting tool worth trying, but it's bulky.
