Going back 20 years or so the Craftsman drills were made by Singer.The
Singer division was called Kearfott.While working on their phone trunk
lines I asked them if this was true,the answer was yes.
Singer makes a lot of things that you would not associate with a
sewing machine company. For instance guidance systems for ICBM.

Singer pretty much went TU around 1990, and the Singer name and a
bunch of their divisions were sold off to a Canadian-based company
called Semi-Tech Microelectronics run by a young Chinese-Canadian (and
reputed in the investment industry to have a lot of mainland China
money behind it). Which is probably partly why today you see the
Singer name stuck on all sorts of China-made stuff.

That didn't include the missile stuff- I think that became Bicoastal
Corp.
