Plymouthy Adams Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 China, Taiwan, Egypt...you as a consumer have no control and to me that is sad but also keep in mind that they have a wide variety of places to exchange defective tools and as long as they honor that exchange policy...that is still the + in their selling niche of the market...I sometimes have a Craftsman fai lon me and to date it has been no problem exchanging them...jobbers like Matco and Snap-on bad mouth the ?Craftsman tools and spread some very malicious rumor on exchange policy to get the naïve kids at shops etc to buy into their high dollar junk...the worse tool jobber in the world in my opinion is Snap-on....experience and opinions vary compared on the very service one finds in their area..

Don Coatney Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Hard for America to make any tools these days as steel mills no longer exist in this country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niel Hoback Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Steel mills are still here, they make more steel now than ten years ago. They just use a lot fewer people. Besides, they're paying my pension!! Ain't that right Scotty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james curl Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 (edited) Stanley used to have a stamping plant in Wichita Falls Texas where they just changed dies and stamped Craftsman, Snap On, Husky, Proto, Black Hawk and New Britten and many more but they closed it years ago. If you use Google or Bing to look up Stanley tools international you will be surprised at what they make world wide.
