I used to believe in Sears tools and their non powered hand tools may still be OK. I haven't purchased a Craftsman wrench in a long time. Based on long ago experience I bought a Craftsman table saw, jig saw, disk/belt sander & 12" power miterbox, a substantial amount of money. All are junk and all lasted through the 90 day warranty before going to hell. Lets just say it'll be a cold day in the same place before Sears gets any more of my money for tools. Oh yes, one more thing. About 15 years ago I asked for a Craftsman 6" dial caliper for Christmas. Their tool catalog showed two, one listed as imported for $10 less. I specifically asked for the more expensive one assuming it would be USA made. It was made in Japan. I felt Sears was deceptive in their advertising and told them so in a letter but never got an answer back. The lesson there is read the package, even if it's a Craftsman hand tool.
