The Craftsman socket set I bought 15 or 20 years ago was made in America. The Craftsman socket set I bought a few months ago was made in China. I see no reason to continue purchasing Craftsman.

Exactly! I’ve bought my last Chinese made piece of crap from them. I’d gladly pay more for it to be made in the USA and have their old guarantee back. Now I have a broken Chinese made Craftsman compressor that isnt worth fixing, while my ancient (and very heavy) USA made one keeps on running.

I've bought tools on ebay. Some very old tools. Housewares too. Never been disappointed yet. The old stuff was built to last.
