Overall it seems that most of broken stories I have read were due to abuse or just sheer not using the right tool for the job. Does anyone know of a definitive list of what's going to continue being produced in the US of A vs what's going to Chinese produced?

See and maybe it's just the area I'm in but for the most part the local sears (Plano, tx) is still stocking alot of USA made craftsman tools. I was just in there the other day browsing around while my girlfriend shopped in the mall. Sockets (even the laser etched easy o read ones) had USA...

The majority of my tools are only 6 years old. And most my craftsman stuff is made in USA. When did all of this china outsourcing start?

Would those by chance have been steel bolts inside an aluminum head and block? Seizing tends to happen in instances like that.

Seems like a growing trend of breaking under misuse...

I'm just curious that with all the bitching and moaning that goes on with craftsman moving some production to china. Especially the entry level ratchets, some wrenches, and sockets. When have you actually broken a craftsman tool? USA or china made? What was it? And what were you doing? I...

I realized I didn't actually post here in the introductions. I'm 20, and my garage is used to wrench on things from my truck to my motorcycles. I've been a member for a while but never really got around to posting anything. Closed on my house in January so the first thing I started getting put...

Added in some shelves and a table I built for working on the bikes. On my list is the floor because stuff is always ending up on the floor, oil, gas, gear oil, brake fluid, etc. Epoxy coat will eventually get done but not right away. Just thought I would share. Thanks!

My girlfriend and I just recent purchased our first house. She was excited to have a house, I was excited to have a garage of my own. I previously shared with my dad whom I love to death but is not the neatest worker I have ever known. Now it's nothing crazy fancy. I prefer the simplistic...
