I've been a long time Craftsman customer but lately I've been buying a lot of hand tools at Harbor Freight as there is a well stocked store 1 mile from where I work. I figure if I'm getting a Chinese product I might as well pay Chinese prices. Besides, their Pittsburgh line of hand tools has the same lifetime warranty as Craftsman. And if you don't have a store close their $6.99 flat rate shipping is hard to beat. [Reply]  [No Email]

Very sad to say but nearly all craftsman hand tools are imported. Saw the first imported sockets and wrenches two weeks ago at the local sears. [Reply]  [No Email]

It was clearly marked Japan. The switch to Chinese production of Craftsman tools started a few years ago and has really picked up steam in the last year or so. [Reply]  [No Email]

I also have a complete set of Japanese raised panel wrenches. They belong to my dad. Japanese wrenches were good quality. Go look at the current Chinese offerings... [Reply]  [No Email]

I needed a brake bleeder wrench on a Sunday and Sears was the only place open. It's served me well all these years but I wasn't happy that Sears was advertising Craftsman tools as being made in the USA when some were actually made in Japan. [Reply]  [No Email]
