I am sure in a small rush at this time but I want to get this post made. Its not painless to remain on a very good writing daily program but I wish to get it to be steady. Maybe someday I can post on this website even more regularly. Right now I wish to tell you about a great write-up I noticed on hand tools. It is actually slightly exciting.

Q&A:
Question by CJP: Is it true that Sears’ Craftsman brand power tools are made by Ryobi?
I’ve got 40 year old Craftsman tools handed down by my grandfather. They still work great. I recently purchased several NEW Craftsman power tools such as a 2 HP router and a 1/2″ drive 18 volt drill. I’ve also purchased some hand tools such as a 90 degree corner clamp.
Almost all of my recent Craftsman purchases have resulted in catastrophic failure of the tools. My drill LITERALLY burst into a cloud of smoke, my router locked up tight, my corner clamp broke (and they wouldn’t replace the clamp saying it wasn’t a “hand tool”, it had only been about 6 weeks), and my regular clamps’ grips came off.
Seems like Craftsman has really gone WAAAAYYYY downhill lately. I won’t make any more Craftsman purchases. I recently bought a Ryobi 18v drill, but then I heard that Ryobi makes some of Craftman’s stuff. Is it true? Did I essentially purchase another crappy product?

Answer by Richard
I don’t know about all Craftsman tools, but, yes, Ryobi America Corporation does make at least some of them, as well as many Sears garden tool products like lawnmowers.
