Why people don't buy craftsman anymore

I'm pissed, as over the last 2 years, being a Trusting Dewalt guy, (after over 30 years in the field, and knowing they originally were based off a B@D design, have accumulated LOTS of the 20v stuff. Drywall gun, router, Sawzall, SDS +, 7 1/4" skill saw, 2 impacts, 2 drills, angle grinder, and a plunge cutter....never looked till I was putting.a roof over my Duster, neighbor said some crap, I looked....damn, the proof was I my hand...hope it all ain't junk. I've BOUNCED Dewalt ( corded) drywall guns off the floor, many time in the day. Never issues, but Xyna, just Pisses me off!

I've always said when something gets the "Poulan curse" the quality is gone. When Poulan saws first hit the market, they were top shelf. The best of the best. Then one day.....almost overnight, BAM they were on the shelves at WalMart. Once that happens to what was once a "good brand" you can kiss the quality goodbye. You might still be able to get "good ones" in stores like Home Depot and Lowes, but it won't last long. Once a manufacturer realizes they can make a much more inferior product and they'll still sell, it's all over with. That's the Poulan curse.
