Sears selling craftsman tool division.

[w2amr]

Craftsman is gone, but there are a ton of good US-made hand tool companies out there. Wright, SK (who recently emerged from French ownership, making stuff in Illinois again), Proto (a StanleyB&D holding, but one they've mostly not-fucked-around-with), Armstrong, Cornwell, and of course the Snap-On/Williams behemoth (which are mostly overpriced unless you need daily replacements).

I bought all my snap-on tools for work 25 years ago. If I had to replace them today, it would cost a fortune.
