Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2017 4:36 pmThis is interesting as Stanley just sold it's mechanical locks division to the DormaKaba conglomerate. This includes BEST, Precision Hardware, S&G and other brands.
In response to the OP, I hope they bring Craftsman back up to where it was, where it NEEDS to be. Sears really dropped the ball and let the brand go to shit.

Posted: Mon Feb 06, 2017 7:44 pmStanley owns Mac, so if you can judge by Mac vs. Snap-on, innovation will probably improve, but everything will be made overseas.
Mac definitely has more innovative tools than Snap-on, but most Snap-on tools are made in the US. Few or no Mac tools are - they are significantly cheaper though.
