Given your location it may be the cool thing to do. Have a set of US branded tools for the bike. It would be nice to have the old ones but given your location other options may not be available.
I think of a small collection of tools we have that align with the ag vendors we use. The Ford, IHC, AC, JD, NH and MF tool corner that is show vs go. They make a nice talking point. Then there is the toy corner where we have the model if made of most of the machines we bought new and sometimes used. So that is why I say may be a cool thing to do.
Growing up Craftsman was the tool of choice. You have to have been working at that time to understand that. About 25% less than anything else of equal quality. Most tools commonly available outside of industrial and automotive lines were not of equal or better quality. So to hold one today vs holding one in the 60s and 70s is not a good comparison. Today you also need to hold the competition from that time or you will not get the right impression. The round head ratchet was amazing compared to the competition which were around 20 something teeth with no double pawl. The 120 tooth ratchet was in no ones mind. The comparisons I usually see without that knowledge are the same as saying my 55 inch flat screen smart TV is so great why did anyone rave about their 19 inch black and white TV in the past, they were so bad. The comparison at that time was against the 9 inch round screen black and white TV my mothers uncle had.
We use mainly industrial or automotive tools, mainly Wrights, in the shops and large service trucks. We use other brands elsewhere in other vehicles and machines. In its current state we do not pass up Craftsman if we need a set but unlike the old days we do not go looking for it. If at an Ace or Lowes and we need a set for a combine or tractor we will grab it. If not we will grab what is available where we are. Most of the old Craftsman USA is either in my house shop or in another corner of historic tools in one of the shops. Again another conversation piece.
