I thought all Craftsman stuff was supposed to be made in the US. That and my point was not to debate one over the other but that I believe they are all the same. I too buy made in USA when I feel the product warrants it like my Atlas lathe or my Williams hand tools. Sometimes I buy Chink junk because I know I am going to destroy the tool because of the job or id the tool is so cheap I could buy 3 or 4 for the same price like my 1/2" hand drill. It cost me $40 and has been a tough tool believe it or not but my thinking at the time was I could buy 4 or 5 of those for the price of 1 really good one. Most of my tools are top quality and I wouldn't ever skimp where it matters. All my micrometers , dial indicators, depth gauges, etc... are all top of the line made in USA tools most of which are almost as old as me and good as the day they were made and calibrated regularly.


I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
