Default A gloat at Sears?!?!

They have a jig saw that is identical (at leat externally) to the Bosch.
I am curious if they are the same internally.

It's not jealousy in this case, just a strong hatred for all things
craftsman. Their large tools (like the new table saws) have been
getting better. But they have had many many years of using their good
name to push junk on people. Just ask around about the random height
adjustment feature. I'd buy another ryobi tool before craftsman. And
that's saying a lot.

On the other hand, there's that new router that's a clone of the bosch.
I have to wonder if it's different or just a rebadge. iirc, the
craftsman is cheaper. I have to wonder why. It may just be marketing,
or maybe not. I would probably just buy the bosch to be sure unless I
could get a major discount on the craftsman.
