Check this out: Below is a picture of two of my Craftsman 13mm combination wrenches. The one on top is less than 2 years old, but the one on the bottom is at least 25 years old. They are the same part number, yet they are very different. The newer one weighs 2/10ths of an ounce more, yet has less material in the ends, where you need it. The most surprising difference to me can be seen in the bottom picture. The older one was made in Japan.

Take care
