For me its the table saw. Its like having your own little saw mill and you can cut boards in the exact dimensions that you need, when you need it.

Id question if that just means that the sockets will be put in the box in the U.S. and thats about it.

Maybe you just got a bad one. I bought a Craftsman 10" earlier this year and its awesome. Yeah, its got a lot of plastic on it but the stuff that counts is all metal and the fence and miter gauge are dead on accurate. Theres a part of me that still thinks I should have bought the Ryobi because...

Id get a Ryobi or Craftsman. Why spend $500 for a pro jobsite saw when you could spend half as much on something that will do the job just as well? Ive got the 10" Craftsman and its pretty awesome. I was torn between the Ryobi and the Craftsman and really the deciding factor was that I had a...

For DIY use, I love my Craftsman V20. Its got plenty of power and really speeds up jobs. At $80, you cant beat the price. I looked at a Milwaukee but I just couldnt justyify the cost. I also considered the Ryobi but the battery design makes the tool pretty bulky. You often have to turn the...

Its a pretty good saw for something that is entry level. Metabo makes good tools but you get what you pay for.

Yeah, I love that little 3-gallon Craftsman. Its small and light but seems to have plenty of power. I personally wouldnt buy a Ridgid because every since they started to become known as the, "new Shop Vac", their pricing has gotten kind of out of control. I actually looked at Ridgid earlier...

You could just go to Lowes and pick up a Craftsman 3-gallon vac for $35, 5-gallon for $50 or 9 gallon for $65. I picked up a 3-gallon just last weekend and its a beast.

Id say the easy answer is: none. There is no noticable difference in quality from steel no matter where its from and most consumers want the best products they can for the cheapest possible price, so that means you probably arent going to get US steel. IMO, of all the things that you could...

I'll just rest my case on Ryobi's HP line with this one:

Sold almost everywhere? What? Apprently Home Depot and Amazon are, "everywhere".

Ryobi used to be cost effective but ever since the HP line came out, they got almost expensive as a DeWalt or Milwaukee. Craftsman is what Ryobi used to be, before they lost their way and started trying to go upmarket. Another big downfall to Ryobi is the battery system. Its fine on a drill or...

Craftsman non flex head 72 tooth. Its all you need and doesnt cost a fortune.

Im probably a bit biased but Ive got a few Craftsman V20 tools and I think theyre pretty awesome. Im coming off of being a Ryobi tool user for a number of years now and IMO, Craftsman is an upgrade over Ryobi in every way. Ive got the brushless 1/4" impact driver, the V20 flashlight, V20...

Amen. I work in automotive manufacturing and work in an underbody area where the cars are suspended overhead and I often have to shoot bolts into the bottom of cars. Anyways, a couple years ago, I got a sliver of metal in my eye and didnt realize it until I got home. Long story short, I dont...

If its something you are going to use a lot, sure. Just keep in mind that while the tool itself might be cheap, the air compressor that you will need to run it properly isnt going to be cheap.

It means little to nothing to me. As someone who has worked in manufacturing for over 20 years, I can tell you that steel is steel and good quality is good quality no matter where its made. Ive got a tool box full of mostly Craftsman tools. Some are the old made in the USA Sears tools, some...

I go breaker bar to loosen, 4-way to remove and snug up and torque wrench to tighten. If you know how to do it, a 4-way can be faster than a speed wrench.

I ended up picking up a Craftsman 1/2" breaker bar. I tried breaking one of the lug nuts free and it was pretty easy. Im kind of surprised at how many people use an impact wrench. When I bought that Craftsman corded impact wrench, I honestly felt like I was being lazy. LOL

Im with you on this one. Forget trying to troubleshoot or fix it yourself, call a technician and get it fixed right. Especially when you tie a generator into your home via a transfer switch, you dont want to hope that you got it right.
