I was expecting this to be a regular Huot stamped index and it could be, but it's not branded or US tagged in any way other than the CL -Label on it. It looks like the same quality rating as Huot and good kits - no, not like the good old days, but about like what we've seen in the last 25-30 years. Of course, it seems to me that this is Huot. The bits fit well and don't fall out, the trays move easily (the smallest tray is a bit stiff which I think is nice). I bought it to hold a cheaper set of bits with a larger square index (MaxTool, which is surprisingly very good because it's not made in the US). The compact size and usual door/wing suits me.
