the death of america....
yesterday i went to sears to look around and **** off a bit. as soon as i walked in i seen these new style of craftsmen wrenchs... they were satin black with some chrome accents on them....as i was inspecting them ( with the intent on buying them ) i read what was engraved on it, after 'CRAFTSMEN" it said 'CHINA'.
my only reaction was saying What The ****! and i Left to go back home to listen to my girlfriend bitch some more....

Snap-on tools are expensive. Plus the guys that sell them off the truck try to give you there "line" to buy their tools. And yes i understand that they make there living from that.

Well China owns most of America Anyways so if they Own America then your still buying American Since everything comes in through the US Docks, and the workers are American, then I feel im still helping some Americans keep there jobs when I buy products from China

i didn't know craftsman was made in china either... damn. My dad is gonna be pissed!

Thats sucks. I didn't know this either. I guess thats why we don't see any more commerials for craftsman tools anymore. That was there main claim to fame anyways made in the USA...

Yeah craftsman dropped off the edge a while back. My dad has a couple sets of sockets and wrenches, etc, that are craftsman american made and they're alright. The new tools they have (especially the e-volve) are chrome plated pieces of ****.
I only buy from Snap-On and Matco now. I even learned my lesson from Cornwell. The salesmen for those tool trucks DO have to make a living, but they know better than to try to "sell" products to mechanics. If you got a sales pitch, you probably aren't a regular customer. Idk if those 2 companies have their tools made in America, but they're the best of the best. If they're made in china, at least you know a dude in America designed them cause those guys over in China can't design quality anything. And that's proven by looking at all the products they've made that I threw away cause they broke...

If you think thats bad, dont go to Home Depot or Lowe's.
Some craftsman is still made in the US. Its about half chinese, half US manufactured. http://www.stillmadeinusa.com.
If we ever go to war with China, I say we carpet bomb their fkn asses with all their manufactured crap that is sold over here.
