Why people don't buy craftsman anymore

I made a good living for 30+ years with mainly Craftsman Tools it appears that Stanley is attempting to bring Craftsman back to made in USA with their New Texas Plant time will tell. I can't say I have broken to many Craftsman tool but I did manage to wear out a 3/4 drive ratchet that I bought in a set in the early 80s and yes it was made in Taiwan and Sears replaced it with a made in the USA quick release one that probably cost as much as the set I originally bought.

My grandfather had Craftsman in his garage. When I started working on my (mostley drivers, and a few " somedays" muscle and /6 cars at 18, bought a USA Craftsman set, used their tapes, snips, I still have a US 2' level I picked up 5 or 6 years ago. I'm rough on stuff, and have damaged a few, but got new ones, after returning. Definitely Agree on the vise grips. Traded a Slightly tweaked small needle nose vise grips, got junk in return. Asian junk....
