Husky Tools

[owdouglas]

[QUOTE=Pat;257445]Husky is not nearly as old a name as Craftsman but so what. Craftsman isn't such good tools as just a recognized name and a decent warranty. I don't think there is a Husky tool factory any more than there is a Craftsman tool factory or a Kenmore ANYTHING factory. They are tools built to a price to mass market under a nifty sounding name.

Ran across this old thread Just to set the record straight, Husky tools have been around longer that crapsman(oops I mean craftsman). Husky est. 1924 craftsman 1927. I like Husky tools , the first socket set I bought in the early 70s´ is still in my toolbox. I know, so are the CM tools I bought but I have a bad taste for Sears and craftsman since the 90s´. I guess I'll concede that craftsman hand tools are ok, but I'll never own anything from craftsman that has a motor attached.

I don't know what problems you've had with Sears, but I'm just the opposite. Besides some hand tools, I have a Craftsman table saw, bench grinder, shop vacuum, half-inch hammer drill, sander, plus household appliances such as our washer/dryer, two refrigerators, etc.

Sears Craftsman hand tools are slowly changing from made in U.S.A to made in china, My son is a mechanic at a FORD dealer and he started with craftsman tools, they were the best for our budget, now that he is making his own money he can slowly buy Snapon/ Matco tools bringing home his craftsman tools for his home tool box. like Bird I too have some sears craftsman power tools and satisfied with their performance, I also have 40+ year old craftsman mechanic tools that I have no desire or need to replace.
