I spent some time wandering through the hand-tool section, and realized that the old Craftsman brand is basically dead. Craftsman tools used to all be made in the U.S.A, to a nice level of fit and finish. Now I see two grades of Chinese made stuff--chintzy and somewhat nicer.
I used to buy only Craftsman hand tools, but it looks like when I need new ones, I won't make an extra effort. I can just as well buy Mexico/Taiwan sourced hand tools for slightly less money at Home Depot.
There are still mass market hand tools made in the U.S. with a no-B.S. warranty. Check out Klien and Channel Lock.
