Dunno about Craftsman tools recently, as I still have 90% of the Craftsman hand tools I bought back in the 70's. Used them every day at work.
Heck... When we were in our teens, the First Credit Card for everyone was Sears as they would give one to anybody... Get that card, buy tools and build credit...
Yup, my hand tools are Craftsman circa 70's -early 80's . . with a few exceptions.... Like the few snap On's I have from when I worked at the gas station, and drove for AAA...
Back when Craftsman was GOOD.......
Sears was my first credit card as well, got it in 1978. I did the same as you, bought a few tools paid it off and built credit. I still have most of my Craftsmen tools from the era and they still work great.
Anything Craftsmen tools bought after the mid 90s turned out to be junk, and they got worse and worse. I wouldn’t touch a Craftsmen tool now.
