Sears sold the Craftsman name to Stanley Black & Decker last year.
That’s one of the reasons you now see them sold in Lowes stores.
That’s why I love FR. Always learn something new. Thanks. Wasn’t aware of this and haven’t bought a new tool in a few years :-)
Ace Hardware also sells Craftsman. Don't know if Ace is part of the Lowes corporate umbrella or not.
