I researched a wide selection of craftsman reviews that compared the older American‑made tools to the newer lines available in big box stores. Many mentioned subtle changes in design but still reported dependable durability. In my own garage, I’ve used a Craftsman socket set and drill kit for regular car maintenance and light construction work. The sockets have stayed strong without rounding off, and the drill continues to hold charge after frequent projects. Once a ratchet broke under heavy pressure, and the warranty replacement was honored quickly with no hassle. Those craftsman reviews proved accurate, showing a balance of reliability with the reassurance of warranty service when something finally fails.
