New Craftsman Hand Tools at Lowe’s where were they made and where did all the USA go Priced too High

- Craftsman Hand Tools at Lowe’s Where did you come from? Where did all the USA go? It simply priced too high for all the China and Thailand items making up more than 80 percent of the business. This video is a store tour of all the new hand tools and the country of origin on each one with literally 90% or more all being made in China. The rest are made in Taiwan Thailand or England.
I personally wish that more manufacturing would be brought back to the USA. I really did enjoy the USA quality made tools that were able to be purchased at reasonable prices 10 and 20 years ago. I don’t foresee any changes and as long as the market continues to be driven by consumers and low pricing. Companies will continue the responsibility to shareholders and the business by increase in revenue through reducing cost, cutting labor and increasing prices.
I will continue to purchase what I feel is quality tools at affordable prices. They don’t even have to be 100% made in the USA, just be honest transparent and don’t try to make a money grab. I will continu to look at tools on Amazon, Estate sales, eBay, Pawn Shops, Online Markets, Craigslist or friends and family.

Wall Street journal reported today Stanley is setting up a plant in Texas to produce wrenches and sockets in the USA next year!
Thanks buddy, that info is in my next video. I hope to see some USA made items in the next 12-18 months!
those tariffs gotta be good for something
Make craftsman great again 2020 lol
Then the extra price MIGHT be worth it but I am going to bet they won’t actually perform any better to justify all of the effort. It might even hasten the trip to failure. The installed base and lower labor costs in China and Taiwan will be dragging this strategy down all the way to the bottom. And there will still be virtually no difference in actual performance. The advent of RUclips and lots of good performance comparison channels will also dog this business plan. It isn’t like the old days all.
When you go to Walmart and Lowe’s you money goes to China. When you shop at a garage sale your money stays here.
S-K tools are better than Snap on, less expensive and have always been made in the US. Better tools better quality control.
@@jimnoyb1209 First socket set I ever bought was an SK Wayne (previous name). Some time around 66-67. I had a paper route and a bicycle and Go-Kart to keep in tune. Still have all of it.
@@jeremyjohnweaver you stole the words out of my mouth
Actually only a small portion of that money goes to China. What a company like Lowes or Ace pays for these tools is peanuts to the price they sell them for.
USA made Wright tools are the right tools to buy.
Agreed. I would advise anyone to buy HF before these. If you're going to make items in China, give them a China price. I won't buy these either.
Yep. That's my motto. If my choice is between expensive Chinese and cheap Chinese then I'm going cheap. The stuff at HF is pretty good, much cheaper and many of the hand tools are made in Taiwan and better quality than most of the Chinese stuff.
But an old school individual 1/4 inch ratchet is $19.99 plus tax ! 😆😆😆
@CAG Hotshot I'll believe it when I see it. I'm expecting lots of "made in USA with global materials." I don't need a wrench forged in Texas from Chinese steel. The Taiwan tools have tight tolerances. If Craftsman wants me to buy their garbage, it needs to be made in USA with USA materials. If not I'll buy HF made in Taiwan, great quality for pennies on the dollar. We'll see if Craftsman can make tools that are made in USA, not assembled in USA. I won't hold my breath.
@@user-ki3dj9pu9y "competitive" with the Chinese tools! So what! The price on the Chinese Craftsman stuff is ridiculously high! Craftsman is history in my book. When I want US made I either buy new Wright tools or used from rummage sales, Craigslist, etc.
I bought a US general (HF) box after looking at a comparable craftsman one. Couldnt be happier. Even though the craftsman was made in the USA, the quality was very poor compared to the Harbor Freight.
Hope these tariffs gets their bottom line. Haha! This is what they get for going overseas!
Makes me wish that I bought more Craftsman tools, when they were still being manufactured in the Unites States. I'm so fortunate that my Father bought me a (X) piece set of Craftsman sockets and wrenches, when I was a kid.
That’s exactly how I feel!
I will not buy tools that are made in KOW DUNG PI.
@Craftsman WE WANT MADE IN USA!!!!
craftsman: we want money more than we want customers
I was a Sears repairman for 8 years. Stanley is spending 90 million dollars
Building a manufacturing plant in Texas near Fort Worth. Sears and the big retailers will have this Chinese inventory for some time. When Sears switched to Chinese junk it took years before all the USA tools were gone.
Craftsman made everywhere
I don't care I just can't wait til they go on clearance so I can rack up 👍🏾
i saw a recent Forbes magazine interview with Stanley CEO and he was bragging about people buying new Craftsman line being sold at Lowes like in no time. By looking at their new products and price point, they cost more than Autozone's Duralast, Napa's Evercraft, Advance Auto/CarQuest's TEQ Correct, Home Depot's Husky or Harbor Freight's Pittsburgh pro line. I just don't understand what he was bragging about! He did mention that they are trying to build a new tool plant in U.S. though. Hopefully, they will be cheaper than Snap-on!
Stanley & Black and Decker also own Proto, MAC and MATCO tools. I think they deliberately out sourced Craftsman tools and marketing tools to your DIY mechanic and homeowner making them affordable. I have a set of Lowes craftsman so far not bad. I think people are upset because craftsman is a household name that was traditionally US manufactured. For most home owners and shade tree mechanics these new craftsman tools are not bad. I had worse. If you use these tools for industrial applications or as a full time mechanic you might want to invest in Proto, SK, MAC Matco, and snap on. If you do invest in any of the above prepare to pony up. I do think these outsourced craftsman tools are better quality than Harbor Freight. I've owned Harbor Freight stuff. I also read that Stanley Black and Decker plans to open up a facility in Dallas ft. Worth to start producing tools.
Great video man! You nailed it at the end where you say that the new craftsman have no place in your tool box along side the old made in USA craftsman tools.
Tim's Work Shop Thanks Tim for watching and your comment. Appreciate you hanging in till the end of the video.
Craigslist Sears only sold the hand tool wine their power tools and riding mowers still owned by Sears that's why they're still made in America
Shocking! Absolutely nothing made in the Good Ole USA! Except for lawn mowers. Wonder Why? Those bastards over yonder don't have lawns. Get it.... Great Video, Bro... Thanks for the enlightenment.
I just hope their aviation snips are better than their shitty airplanes.
Let’s take this insanity even further..... The people in this country don’t buy lawn mowers they pay the illegal aliens to do the job😂
The lawn mowers arent even made by Craftsman, they are made by MTD, which makes some of the worst lawn equipment out there. And most of those mowers use Briggs and Stratton engines, very poor quality as well. The steel in those mowers is probably Chinese.
The lawn mowers are assembled in the USA...They call the parts international which come from overseas
Very disappointed... I love a good tool, and was hoping for some good stuff from the new craftsman lineup
It’s all coming back to America look on google there building a new shop in Texas honestly can’t wait🙂
And I can't wait to purchase and test some of the new made in USA Craftsman. It has to be better than the China stuff. Watch this video i test some of the china ratchets 🙊 ruclips.net/video/wNvXhkfTRws/видео.html
Taiwanese made tools generally have better fit and finish in my opinion.
Also a good set of cheap snap ring pliers are the channellocks.
The fact of the matter is that tools can be made in the USA and at an affordable price, the profit margins that these companies are willing to make offshoring manufacturing is why they are made outside of the USA.
I just saw those gunmetal chrome ratchets and they are beautiful and different at Lowe's.
It is very sad that Crafsman is not an USA product like back in the day. However all we have is good memories and the joy of what we have done with our real Crafman tools. 😉
Would love an updated video of this
Update: Went and bought the pick set. Good enough for what I need a small pick set for. Thanks again for the video.
No problem Steve, Thanks for watching my video.
The last few minutes of this video were GOLDEN. Keep up the great work, sir!
I'd picked up a set of Craftsman twist drills on sale for ~$8. Have been using them to bore 3/8 holes in 3/8" steel. Fairly soft material, maybe 40-45 RC. What can I say; they go through this metal with no issues at all. The press is at 380RPM. Pretty impressed with the $8 purchase.
Try something hard. You will see the difference.
The bad thing is for people that are just starting out needing to buy hand tools, you pretty much dont have a choice to buy a complete set of a tool that's not made in another country.
At 3:33 there is a package says made in USA 4.97 --- YOU MISSED THAT
Lol, I sure did! Looks like a little thumb bit wheelset. Good catch and putting in the time link!
If you go to Sears home stores which are independently owned they still have a decent amount of made in america tools. I talk to the owner of the one I've been going to lately and he told me he's trying to get as much of the American made stuff that he can while he can. But said new stock is running low quick.
Nossa amigo, sou apaixonado por ferramentas, valeu!👍(Brazil)
Pretty God dang shame that Craftsman tools still demand premium price for substandard junk
That sucks, I'll still probably get them though as I would spend the money in gas to get to the next harbor freight to warranty them vs. The lowes right in my town
I was hoping to many of there products come back to the US myself.
A warning to everyone when buying the new line at Lowe’s. When you go to warranty a piece they will only do so if you take the entire set back to them. No more warrantying one socket you have to take the entire 300 prices back.
YourWay LawnCare nah I saw a store with individual sockets they’re stored in a bin of all things 🙄
Gmguy3car that would be nice if they would do that here. I love Craftsman have thousands of dollars in there tools, but I am very disappointed in there new policies
I don't care where a tools made as long as the tools is good and the price are not crazy.. ...
Do ya know off hand if there ultimate tool sets are China or Taiwan?
I just bought 3 Tekton items and plan to buy more. I have the breaker bar 10
5 ratchet 1/2 in and a 1/2 in torque wrench.
So much for the craftsman Bob Vila days.
Stanley will have proto producing some premium stuff for the craftsman brand eventually.
ViperMods Thats what I’m hoping for. I haven’t given up yet and neither have my old Craftsman’s items so I can hold out a long time.
Now that the Craftsman name is contaminated with "Mad in China or Taiwan" it won't matter.
@@x-man5056 You're right, it won't matter.
But not for the reason you think, it won't matter because most people didn't care in the first place. Sears would've gone out of business in 2002 if they had.
It's 2019, and most people don't care where shit is made as long as they get the quality they expect for the price they paid. Which is kind of ironic since a lot of people who claim they do care won't go out and buy SnapOn for precisely the same reason. The quality isn't high enough (even compared to most Taiwanese stuff) to justify the ridiculous uptick in price.
You'll never get both these days because Americans command a higher standard of living. And if you really want products made by these people then you better be ready to pay their bills.
Check out the USA tool boxes, 3000 series
It's a sweet looking box that I have looked at many times!
Made in Willard by MTD also in Shelby, Ohio. I use to work for them
The non serviceable ratchets you can still lubricate by dripping oil around the face plate. I use gun oil and it's worked really well
I thought stanely black and decker was smarter than this.... We can officially kiss craftsman goodbye lol
Great film! I think S/B&D trying to revive Craftsman has been a huge disappointment. I can't help but wonder if Tekton will be the choice for the DIYer now like the older, better Craftsman was.
Tekton's composite quick release ratchets are the Pittsburgh Pro composite quick release ratchets.
@@rickzoellner1407 yeah, the two ratchets do look a like. I haven’t used one. Have you?
No not yet but I will be buying a 3/8 drive from HF probably on Monday. I first saw the ratchet on Tekton's website and wanted one and after researching I was suprised to see it was also being sold by HF.
@@rickzoellner1407 I have picked up the composite ratchet a few times when I have been at HF, but I never can bring myself to buy one. The same thing with Tekton. I have ordered other tools from Tekton, but I just don’t want the composite ratchet.
@@donaldhollums3278 it's just a steal ratchet with a coating on it its plenty strong ...it's good for working out in the cold or working in things that could shock
I agree completely. And those prices forget it. At least with the Kobalt stuff you got a Hassel Free warranty on most of their tools.
JimWest I think I’m going back to Lowe’s one last time to test just how Hassel Free the warrant is. I’m betting the ask for drivers license without receipt, but I really want to test it. Trouble is not sure if I can sneak a camera in for a return/exchange attempt or what the store rules are. Just don’t want to get a ban from Lowe’s however they probably dislike me because of the last 3 reviews 😆
@@ClientGraphics I've taken several things back and they haven't asked me for my license but it may be because they know me in that branch. I'm in there several or more times a week for the last 6 years.
Besides getting tools from the places you also listed, I'm thinking about trying Tekton tools.
Lowe’s is screwing up by ditching Kolbat over craftsmen
Honestly I only buy HF or Tekton tools. Both good quality for the price. HF are my “throwaways” except for my impact sockets and impact. Tekton is everything else. Wrenches sockets etc. Good quality stuff and Michigan family tool company.
Pretty much my analysis exactly. Very disappointing.
I’d love to see what your preferred us made tool brand is for at home wrenching, I buy off the tool trucks for work
The USA made Williams or Porto would be a good choice
What state is that Lowes in? I've never seen those Taiwan flex handle ratchets or th3/8 drive round head swivel ratchet.
That is in Nebraska and that Roto head is Taiwan made and is actually a decent ratchet from the little I handled it.
@@ClientGraphics I think I saw it say 100 tooth. Is that correct? Carlyle has 100 tooth too. Probably made in same factory
@@ernestkills476 The tag just said Drive Size, Swivel Head and 180 Head Rotation and I zoomed in on the Lowes tag and it said 72t Swivel Head. I didn't personally rotate it and count but here is the CRAFTSMAN 3/8-in Drive Ratchet Model# CMMT99422 and CRAFTSMAN 1/4-in Drive Ratchet Model# CMMT99421. I probably need to do a review or count it and comment back which won't be till later.
Cool. Thank you for sharing with us. I'm an industrial sewing machine mechanic in Brazil. Here Belzer and Gedore have let me down. I use a lot of 3mm, 2mm, 1/8 inch, 1/64 inch wrenches. Could you point me to good not very expensive keys like Wera or Wiha?
Lennox, Irwin, also bought out by SBD.
I went to harbor freight to buy a wrench set for my motorcycle, they were made in India at$5.00 I figured if I lost them I didn't really loss any thing the tolerance is off but better than nothing.
were the open stock screwdrivers US made?
Jeff Moss The open single stock were not USA made. They were either Taiwan or China, sorry.
I really like the look of the new Craftsman though. Made in USA is nice but not a make or break for me personally. I’m more focused of price and warranty.
Quality. Craftsman has always had lifetime guaranty. If you break a wrench in the middle of a job, it takes time and effort to get it exchanged. Better to not need to exchange. Quality. I have some cheapo US made tools I bought when I was in high school, still going strong.
The gunmetal sets made in Taiwan look like decent quality but a lot of users aren't going to like that
Smoky finish. The DIY market for hand tools such as wrenches and sockets is dying. I mean who works
On today's cars? This comes from a former Sears Divison Manager. A shame what has happened to a once
Mighty company and the decent tools they used to sell. The professionals didn't buy them but the FIY people
sure did!
This why I buy snap on tools
I was shocked when I saw a Impact universal joint cost damn near as much as my snap on one
I don’t care where it’s made. If it works it works
I have some of the new Craftsman stuff and it works fine but I agree they should be priced a little more reasonably.
Sears needs to brought back to us
A lot of tools are made in Taiwanike Tekton and others.
Wow thought craftsman would lower there price more! Sockets and impacts Still a little to high for me.
I had a Wal-Mart ad pop up add....they sell craftsman tools now?
Are the braker bars made in usa
nnickgray33 The Breaker bars are made in China
Thank god i still have all my usa craftsman tools
The sawZALL blades are made in the USA with global materials
Better off still buying from Sears since the always have sales and free cash rewards to make it worth while
Kyle Victor Totally agree, if you still want to buy Craftsman Hans tools than pricing alone Sears is the better deal.
But if real Sears goes out of business, no warranty.
I'm off to the local pawn shop to buy wrenches and sockets made in the USA
Good video ..I,m in the market for all new hand tools and refuse to buy the new craftsman China junk...i,ll be getting tools made in the u.s.a and you can find them ...
Absolutely. Lots of people are saying good things about Tekton
DIY Steve are they made in the USA?
@@JohnDavis-yz9nq yes they are, and available on Amazon. RUclips has lots of videos on them
Look at sk very nice tools made in usa
mickymopar What happened to Challenger Proto tools. Did they go to China too?
From a corporate business point of view the ONLY reason for s, b and d to buy Craftsman was the legendary name. The actual business strategy is to make at a low cost in China like everyone else but price higher to recoup on the cost of buying the name. It really is a pure profit play and has nothing to do with made in USA Craftsman. There are so many really quite good tools today made in China just like Craftsman is. Extracting money from the public just for a name suggests they believe there are a lot of people out there who will be fooled by this. You literally will be paying extra money for nothing of real performance value. Just aa name. As a marketing guy I am looking for when this strategy comes unraveled. But there are a lot of people who will get sucked in sadly. Big red Craftsman boxes. Very enticing!
I’ve just been watching this craftsman deal, it’s just a sea of red, hard to browse really, expensive overseas items that just don’t interest myself, my prediction is dead inventory and the occasional gift of tool sets sold, will interesting to see, the old school ratchets are expensive and feel cheap. Gun metal chrome with a Stanley ratchet lmao ok
get some S-K tools, a bit more pricey but much better an beats the hell out of Crapsman or Snap On
I held a Chinese Craftsman ratchet and the handle had some rough spots. It was $29.99. screw them!
At the prices of most of those Chinesium tools, I'll just get the HF tools with coupons and save some bucks. The new HF Quinn and Doyle tools are as good, or better, than what most of those Craftsman tools look like, and at a lot less.
Craftsman is in the hospital and is on life support. Need to start planning the funeral. Once a very good tool but now just Chinese junk. Overpriced at that.
John Davis...well put. I must agree and the "new" Craftsman isn't like the "old" Craftsman's I bought back in the late 70's and into the 80's. Won't waste my money on them. Sad that the Craftsman brand went down hill like they did. Worthless... Lets pull the plug and put the customers out of the misery of these junk tools. Lets not forget the new lifetime warrantee that requires you to have a receipt on some tools to get a replacement. Are you serious??? Now that's a joke. Too many other choices in tools today that is going to put the stake into Craftsman's heart!
starastronomer yeh I have a set of craftsman tools that my dad bought back in the sixties. Good tools. A few years back I purchased a set of craftsman combination wrenches with a ratchet box on one end. Total junk. Sears is going under very deservingly. They were one of the first ones to go to China. They could have stayed in the United States with their appliances and tools and been on top of the world. But greed got in the way. For me Harbor freight would have been a better deal. Probably made at the same place.
You might as well buy your Chinese tools from harbor freight at much lower prices. Just won’t have the brand name your accustomed to. Why would Lowe’s waste all that money acquiring the craftsman name. Kobalt was fine enough.
I've been buying up USA made SK tools BEFORE their production is all shifted to China
A contrived effort at best. Tekton tools is reasonable , family owned, and USA based In Michigan. Other just shop at harbor freight and save more money.
What I don’t understand is why Stanley Black and Decker wouldn’t bring back USA made Craftsman. They already have manufacturing in place in America to produce Proto. This is a huge fail for SB&D
Now go to sears and compare the two.
What I can pick out in the video, at sears, the pry bars, picks, mirror, aviation snips are USA sourced. As well as the lawn equipment and some tool boxes. SBD screwed up. They could have easily had western forge manufactured their screwdrivers and pliers- like they did for decades. I am disappointed with the offerings from Lowe’s. It’s really a race to the bottom now.
Go to a Sears... Easier said then done at the rate of them closing.
is Taiwan stuff better?
Typically It has been seen that it is better, but Chinese manufacturing has come a long way.
the problem with the new SBD craftsman is they are making the wrong items here in USA like tape measures, saw blades and tool boxes....most old school craftsman fans want the wrenches, sockets, ratchets, mechanics tools & screwdrivers made here...they decided to use the same factories that made the dewalt stuff and slap the craftsman name on them...nobody really cares that reciprocating saw blades that cost $3 each are made here....make the wrenches, sockets & screwdrivers here
The wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers are the things that cost more to make, hence.....China/Taiwan.
Great video. Im interested in their new gun metal combination wrenches. when i started buying tools a few years ago i wasn't able to buy the craftsman USA ones. screwdrivers also don't look bad
I'm worried the gunmetal will be easy to loose under the hood.
So disappointed at SBD for failing the Craftsman Brand the flagship of all tools. With that, it might say more about the stability of SBD.
The yard tools even seem suffering. I luv the V60 leaf blower and other tools, but this spring the shelves are bare. What happen here. Closing the Texas plant. A bigger story perhaps.
I am not crazy about their USA taPE measures
I lost a Craftsman Made in USA 10 mm 3/8 socket, To say I'm not Upset would be like denying The Black Plague.XD
Man those pliers are a joke, just cheap china junk that will rust within the first couple uses. Those locking flex heads are worth it tho but I think buying the 3 sizes I use is the way to go lol.. The roto head ratchets are actually pretty nice, you got any craftsman 'collectibles' that have a 'cult following?
I have a few things but no official collectibles just well used good tools like the USA professional 3 pc full polish ratchet set, some of the low profile ratcheting wrench sockets and painfully only half a set of mid length craftsman sockets.
those ratcheting wrench sockets will you show them off in a video please, I think I have them also by westward... I think they lied about where those were made.. @@ClientGraphics
@@ClientGraphics wow never heard of the mid length from craftsman! Be great to see it all tho!
I don't understand why is the price so high if it's made in China and the quality so low.... I own Craftsman and Husky tools that were made in the USA back in the day... if you want a good deal on Craftsman tools go to Sears right now they're clearancing out tons of Craftsman stuff and go get the price that justifies the quality
People who complain about tools not being made in the USA must be very very rich with a lot of disposable cash to spend.. I can fill a shop full of tools made in China or half full or less if they are made in the USA. You have to compare quality and price. Most Americans can not afford to buy tools made by an American worker making $50000 a year. Sorry none of my tools have sentimental value. Ha Ha.. I just want them to work and when they break or get lost I will buy another one at the best price.
I would never buy China craftsman only if they bring back to USA made the USA stuff wasn't the best but it was good for the money and for me it the memories of going to Sears with my father just checking out all the USA stuff good times at least I still have the old stuff and they work great
They are banking on the craftsmanship name and that's it, I look at pawn shops for usa forged craftsman tools.
kinda screws people that have a lot of kobalt tools. I'm sure this is just a ploy by lowes to get out of a lot of warranties. craftsman tools have went downhill so bad these days not even sure I would want them in my box.
Yes it most certainly does, which is sad. I personally have very little Kobalt but it seems to be decent of the items I do have.
the ratchets and sockets aren't bad at all imo. I don't care much for their pliers and stuff. reality is most of these brands come from the same factories in China or Taiwan and stamp a brand on them.
What is manufactured in the United States of America, has been of excellent quality, I wonder: Why is a brand as credible as CRAFTSMAN, is manufactured in China?
Craftsman is outsourcing and trying to leave the USA. Even though some of their stuff is still made here, it is often low quality, especially the tool boxes.
Tekton and some other companies are actively trying to move manufacturing to the United States and make much higher quality tools. Ive been very happy with my Taiwanese Tekton tools, im sure the USA made ones are even better.
Recently, I was in the market for a small single bank tool box. I went to lowes and looked at the craftsman, very poor quality and poor space optimization.Then I went to Harbor Freight, made in China, but way higher quality and lots more room. Needless to say, I went with the HF.
I liked craftsman but I don't buy china my money is hard earn and if I can I will help us maded tools if I can find them
Chinese made Craftsman junk at high prices. Seriously, better off with Pittsburgh at HF. Similar quality for much less.
Its the same old craftsman model of high priced junk!
Idk about those craftsman pliers but the harbor freight pliers are shitty
It's a crying shame that this iconic brand has been bastardized. I also have tools that have been in my box for many years. Many Craftsman. I have some Chinese made tools also but I will have no room for new Craftsman tools anymore. Kobalt and Husky tools I have perform well and if I want a cheap tool for one time job I'll buy something other than Craftsman regardless of cost. This shit needs to stop.
I was excited about the Craftsman power tools but I'm disappointed in the quality of them and I'm not paying 160 dollars for their brushless drill driver .the circular saw with a plastic shoe and blade guard I think I'll pass on that.
THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP NOT BUYING ANY CRAFTSMAN TOOLS IN IT DON'T HAVE U.S.A.
My 2 cents. Yall asking for too much. You guys want china prices but American made. Put simply Americans aint cheap. You get one or the other. Me personally, craftsman hand tools are a joke now days. Made overseas, made cheaply, yet has an expensive ass price tag. I was absolutely shocked when I noticed the universal impact swivels cost damn near as much as my snap on one. I wouldn't mind paying regular price on the old stuff that was more reasonably priced and were actually better quality.
All the people whining about a lack of American made products could go buy Williams/Snap-On or SK right now, but most of them won't.
Beggers can't be choosers.
@@AaBB-ks6oc You get it, in my mind its just asking for too much. Life is choices, dont cry about them
RIP Craftsman
Everything made in China prices are gonna change😂😂
Assembled in U.S.A. with global parts. Big difference from made in U.S.A..
David M Totally the truth! It means like 60% was made in the USA and put together in the USA or something close to that.
just like dewalt power tools...same thing
Yep, and that seems to be the popular thing to say...."global". Why not just say China?
@@craigjorgensen4637 More than one country was mentioned, but yes mostly China.
@@craigjorgensen4637 its clever marketing...if they say china it will make them look bad...we all know where the parts come from
I would be much better just bring sears back to us weather then made everywhere else
The Guarantee is what you are paying for. Why else would car mechanics pay 5 times the price for Snap On?....SERVICE...I will buy Craftsman again when USA made comes back!
