There has been a lot of discussion on this board about "Crapsman"
tools. Some
good some not-so-good. I happen to like their tools...most that is w/ a
few exceptions...
the router being one of them.

I'm wondering who makes Craftsman power tools? Is it a wholly owned
company or
an exsiting co. that makes tools under it's own name or different
comanies? I know the
Danaher tool co of Conn. (or is that Mass ?) makes their hand tools like
ratchet wrenches and sockets etc.
It's easy to see that their refridgerators are made by Whirlpool, but
who makes their power tools like cordless/
corded drills, saws etc?

Does anyone out there know?

Thanks

Each tool is bid on individually, AFAIK...

If you look at their $180 biscuit jointer, it's obvious that it's a
DeWalt 672...
I was at Orchard Supply (the cheap place to buy Craftsman) looking at
sabre/jig saws and they actually had them displayed WITH the Skill
brand ones... one quick look at each model side by side and you could
see that they were Skill with different labels..
