Sears sold the Craftsman tool line to Stanley Tools. They cut a deal with Lowe's and are now selling Craftsman tools. I was examining the tool chest and I noticed the drawers didn't operate smoothly. Has anyone else noticed this? Is Craftsman going downhill? What brand toolbox would you buy?

I had to call Craftsman support earlier today. They still had the information from an item I purchased for my father in 2005 and had the parts I needed to get it fixed. Just because they sold out to Stanley the number is the same for support and they only charged me shipping for the part.

@Dianna I used to be manager level with TW. I have lots of it and I have exchanged lots of it for people.

I have an older bottom from Harbor freight and I like it but not sure what the new ones are like.

Check the coupon. Sometimes they exclude items like tool boxes @Stereoguy

i wouldn't buy one , Probably find one somewhere but wind up leaving it there , too much extra weight to carry around long distances

@Stereoguy yeah that should cover it but the more the Merrier , lol
For hand tools I've always hand good luck with Craftsman but pneumatic tools I like Snapon and for quality torque wrenches & testors I always suggest Norbar

@Stereoguy sounds like the right one.

I have a craftsman and a US general.

The US general is better. The craftsman was bought 20 years ago.

Incidentally a little but of lithium grease on the roller track works wonders.

Go on craigslist and find an old snapon or mac or cornwell. You might have to wait for a deal, but everything else is made in China.

If a big discount store is selling it, it's been cheapened up one way or another.

Yes, Craftsman is midrange garbage now. No idea what you might like better.

I think the only ones you listed that you can get here are Stanley and..if you sell your house, snapon. You guys have access to some amazing tools
