all my old Craftsman tools have the
Made in the USA either/or Forged in the USA on them
I also have Matco, Snap-on,
even a lot of older Thorsen & Cornwell Tools also
some were my dads, some were my granddads too
I have some old Craftsman power tools also,
bench grinder, bench drill press, old 1/2" hammer drill
some 50-60+ years old
stuff I kept for sentimental reasons, still work fine too
IMO some of the old Craftsman feel better in the hand
some of the wrenches by the hi-$$$ brands are thin/small
but still good, just a different feel, some work better in tight places
I have some from the 60's, maybe earlier,
I got a few from my Granddad, he had for who knows how long
good to see & hear some co.'s are coming back
I guess that magic wand & real capitalism or patriotism works,
better that outsourcing of the previous parties, selling US out
Repatriating is a good thing...
Jobs everywhere, well almost anyway...
