[QUOTE="Glock 40, post: 3240310, member: 32"] Craftsman technically hasn't ever made anything. They just had things made for them, put their name and warranty on it for Sears. Same as Kenmore for Sears appliances. All their tools were made at USA forges until the late 90s I would guess. Easco was a major forge they used for years. For a long time Waterloo made their tool boxes. No idea who makes them now. After Stanley bought them I am not sure what has happened to how part #s are done. After they started making Craftsman brand in China I quit buying their product. Craftsman parts had a 3digit code then a dash then a number. The 3 digit code told you who made it for them. Here is a list that shows who the actual manufacture of an older Craftsman item is [URL]http://vintagemachinery.org/Craftsman/manufacturers.aspx[/URL] Those craftsman mowers have always been Roper/AYP/Noma/Murray/Troy Built and so on.
