They are great value for money, but you need to understand what you are
buying. I have had very good luck with some, but I have really seen some
junk.

I take it you've never seen any of the junk made here in the USA?


I personally have not seen any junk tools made in the USA.


Neither have I, actually...and Im pretty tool savvy.

By junk, I mean the tool either did not function as intended, or broke
much before its expected lifetime, under normal use. I cannot recall a
single instance of a US made tool failing in this manner.


If nothing else, you never bought anything from Searz branded Crapsman
in the late 70s or early 80s, or anything not branded Crapsman at any
other time. Then again, lots of that crap is Chiwanese or Indian, and
both those sources have been producing a MUCH better product in the
last decade or so.

So, if it has a Craftsman lable it has to have been made in the
good ol' USA?

You know better than that!
