Looks like craftsman is heading in the direction of made in USA. And It appears local to me.

That’s just about the best thing I’ve heard in a LONG time.

Awesome news.

Call me crazy, but I don't even care if the tools are anything special.
I'd take a mediocre American made tool over the best China has to offer any day , and that's for no particular reason other than simply liking " MADE IN USA".
( Notice how I said mediocre, I draw the line at Oxwall )
I don't think there's anything wrong with blindly supporting American manufacturing, if there is well I do t care  ;D

That's great.  8)

Hmmm, I wonder if we'd be seeing this kind of thing if Hitlery had won?  ;D

They'd probably have to change Male and Female torx or hex into Internal and external, because it's " wrong to assume the gender of the tool "  ;D

Thats a booming area, I lived in Haslet for a couple years back in 2010-12. Crazy how it was growing back then and I cant imagine now.

One of the best things I remember was a little BBQ place that had a crazy good smoked bologna sandwich, wow it was good.
