Now it’s just Chinese die cast junk.

It seems to depend on what you buy. I have bought some Craftsman hand tools in the last ten years, and all were stamped "Made in USA". On the other hand, it seems like all of the Craftsman workbenches are made in China.

“and all were stamped “Made in USA”. “

If it is “finished” in the USA it can have that label. The Made in USA label has little regs or enforcement behind it.

The hand tools might actually be made in the US then. Either way I’m still irritated with them, I’ve snapped two socket wrenches on the newer model set. I got fed up and got a Husky which immediately felt a lot beefier.
