So they are going to make Craftsman tools in the USA again?
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Re: Craftsman plant in texas
Just went to their website, and apparently so. New plants in TUPELO, MISSISSIPPI; SULLIVAN, ILLINOIS; FORT MILL, SOUTH CAROLINA; CHERAW, SOUTH CAROLINA; NEW BRITAIN, CONNECTICUT; SEDALIA, MISSOURI; and coming soon - FORT WORTH, TEXAS.
All American employees, made in the USA.

Not a fan of Craftman tools, but better than many others. Glad to see more manufacturing plants opening back up in the good ole USA.

I have my grandpas Craftsman tools to this day that he bought in the 50's and 60's that say made in the USA.
To the rest of the posters, Sears screwed it up trying to save their company and moved to buying over seas. The end of days for Sears was when they needed cash they sold the Craftsman brand name and all rights to it. They did the same thing with their Kenmore appliance name.
2017:
It's the end of an era for Sears. The struggling retailer is selling its iconic Craftsman brand to tool maker Stanley Black & Decker.

So does all the plants mentioned in post #3 belong to Stanley/Black & Decker?

Stanley/B&D on Mac also.
I had a bunch of USA craftsman, raised panel, that I gave to my son when I started buying SO stuff. He got a bunch of tools for free and he likes them. The one thing I didn't care for were the ratchets. Lot of slop in them
They were/are good tools, but the SO stuff is just a pleasure to use. Their dual80 ratchets are incredible. Great news they are coming back to the USA. Looking forward to seeing their new stuff
