Horrendous move. Craftsman was known for being the top of the line. Then they blew it.
Maybe they’ll see the light as they need to.
I hope ... both Sears and Penney’s have been victims of horrible CEO’s as of late ... the share holders finally said enough ... I think Penny’s saw the light , but i’m not sure about Sears
They are now making Craftsman brand tools in China? That is sad. There seems to be a race to the bottom. Make everything as cheaply as possible. Take what used to be quality tools but make them cheap to compete against other cheap tools. See who can be a penny cheaper - that seems to be all that matters.
Not really top of the line, but good enough for most things, and lifetime warranty w/o receipt if broken.
I used Craftsman for most mechanic's tools, but for a few things that really mattered (line wrenches, screw drivers, 5/16" combination wrench) the upgrade to MAC/Snap-On was worth the extra few (hundred) bucks (IMO).
