Craftsman Tools

Like or hate? I have had them since the beginning of my time.

I have some Snap on, Mac and Matco as well. My main box is a Matco giant and have went from a Craftsman 3 box setup to Snap-on bench and then a Matco 3 box unit. Most the hand Tools remained old school Craftsman. They have served me pretty well over the years and Sears was always close by to replace, Under lifetime warranty a piece that failed. I had been pretty displeased with the current offering from Sears and always asked for a fix it kit for my ratchets etc. Made in China was deterring me.

I was looking for a kit to keep in the Motor Home and decided on a Craftsman 216 piece combo deal from Lowe’s. At $149 it was roughly $1.45 per piece and a easy buy. They are now listed as made in the USA with Global products, maybe a catch phrase.! Guess they could have said, Assembled in the USA! They seem to be better than my old stuff with some caveats, like shorter handle ratchets, but smoother. Anyway a nice compact kit for the Motor home and comprehensive. Wonder if Stanley is making the product as branded.

My bad head math was incorrect and even cheaper! As pointed out .69 per piece. Oh well. Thanks DFR360cuda for correcting me!
