Snap-on owns CDI. Most current CDI offerings have an imported ratchet
head, even on the models where the torque tool is US. Thje snap-on
versions have US made ratchet heads.
I have a 3/8" drive cdi, 10 to 80 ft-lbs, that dates from the mid 80s.
That's pre snap-on acquisition. I bought it new old stock a couple
years ago. works great, accurate when tested at purchase. I could
wish it had a few more teeth on th ratchet, but that's not a huge
deal.
Norbar also makes very nice torque wrenches; many are made in England.
If I were buying torque wrenches today, I'd look at ones with angle
gauges. Torque plus angle bolts re becoming much more common.
