I'm glad none of the sears by me are closing. Kmart I couldn't care less a about.
I was at a Home Depot returning something that I received as a gift that I already had and was looking at the Husky Tools. Everyone of them is made in China. Now I'm sure they are fine tools and I know it's hard these days not to get something Made in China, but Craftsman handtools are made in the USA. Supporting US jobs and they have always served me well. It kind of bothered me that EVERY tool they sold was from China. Maybe it's just me.

I hate to tell you ,but not all Craftsman tools are made in America anymore and haven't been for quite some time. As a professional that's uses tools for a living, I've also noticed their quality has dropped off too. Any more I only buy their pro series and only if they are truly made in America. Craftsman doesn't mean quality or american made like it used. We can thank Lowes and Home Depot for that. They push their Chinese junk for a lower price and most people only shop on price instead of quality. So really, I guess I'm wrong. It's consumers fault for only shopping on price along.
