Unfortunately ... Richmond no longer makes gears.
The Richmond factory is closed. Motive bought the company ... kept the name ... and disposed of all the ancient manufacturing equipment.
You can still buy the Richmond brand. But it is a Motive gear at a higher price. Most Motive gears are ok. They're all made overseas. You can buy the same Motive gear set for about $20-30 less in a Motive box.
US Gear is the only gear manufacturer left in the US. I'm heartbroken to hear their quality is not up to snuff. Would love to hear what other US Gear users have to say.
There are "some" quality gears made overseas ... but it's hard to sort out which is good & bad. Welcome to the new global marketplace.
