China. Haha. Sorry.
I think someone said that they used to buy from another USA distributor but they may be ordering their own stuff direct now from the Asian sources.

Since Rockler switched their supply from Taiwan to China I've had bad luck with the kits. I don't buy fro them anymore.
Try here for the chrome kit William Wood-Write Ltd.

They used to get most of their kits from a USA supplier who made them in Taiwan. I think they now get most of their kits from the Chinese mainland but I don't believe I'd bet the farm on that unless there is a mainland China supplier that I'm not aware of. I say that because some ot the kits they have aren't available from any of the major Chinese mainland players. If you ask, they will probably tell you.

That kit used to be offered by PSI under the Name "mini Purse Pen" with 3/8" pen tubes. PSI discontinued selling the pen in late spring of this year. They priced the kit at $5.95 as well.

If you ask, I suspect they will tell you, "from our factory in the far east".
Let me know if I am incorrect!!

Since import laws require them to label the kits point of origin I think they'll tell you where in the far east. We only think of China and Taiwan for pen kits but it could be Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan or Korea and probably a couple of others.
