Torx Plus isn't the same as normal Torx. So not really a fair comparison exactly.
The technical details says:

Country of Origin ‎Taiwan

Why is the "Made in the USA" phrase being thrown around on these tools?

I know the old Craftsman USA versions had the socket part made in the USA, and the bit part was made overseas. And they mated them together and called them "Made in the USA", and I think kind of got in trouble for saying that. Not sure if that is the case here.

Also, the "Lifetime Warranty" only applies to the socket part. The bit part is considered consumable and not covered under warranty. But it is the bit part that would break, unlikely the socket part would ever fail.

So seems like the "Made in the USA" and "Lifetime Warranty" claims are a bit misleading.

Note these are assembled in USA and not made in USA. Look at the three camels and the regular price is higher that what Amazon shows. Looks like their other torx bits are on a similar discount
Ah the ole designed in California and manufactured in China fine print.

It's basically a license to tamper.

so do torx plus work on original torx screws, or are they simply too different? Just offhand it looks like the torx plus reg bits might still fit torx screws, but probably not the security ones.

No, Torx Plus bits are not compatible with standard Torx fasteners. However, a Torx key can fit in a Torx Plus screw, but it will be loose and won't provide the extra grip that Torx Plus was designed for.
