    There used to be a great fifth house of Craftsman…

    And let’s not even talk about Snap-on, Northern, or AmazonBasics

      Good old Craftsman. Their power tools have been on the lower end of the quality scale for years. The acquisition by S - B&D pretty well cemented that. But you can pry my 1991 10" Belt Drive table saw from my cold, dead hands.

        I actually have a set of some 74 hand tools from Craftsman my dad gifted me in 1995, and surprisingly they have lasted me for some 30-something years in excellent condition. Power tools, I can’t go that far back. I imagine B&D has ruined everything Sears left behind.

      Harbor Freight’s off-brand chinesium is where it’s at.
