They also made some weird stuff like my radial arm cut off saw with no depth of cut. Works good, but doesn't chop or adjust depth. The only blade that will fit the thing is a Craftsman blade.

Have had some other Craftsman stuff. The hand held belt sander is good, the drill was not, the table saw is okay but a little underpowered (it's a belt drive), the band saw is good but I never use the tilt head anymore, long since replaced the drill press with a King and then something I forget the name of.

I don't think their hand tools are any better than say Canadian Tire's best, but anything with a replacement warranty is okay with me as long as it's convenient, which Sears is not and Canadian Tire is. So I've pretty much quit buying Craftsman unless it's to service what I bought 20 to 25 years ago.

Over the years though I've accumulated a core selection of good tools and that's enough for me. Mostly name brand stuff.

Peace, Mooh.
