The "Craftsman" power tools are now all made in China and are about the same or worse quality as Harbor Freight stuff at higher prices (much higher if you wait until the HF item you want goes on sale!). The "Craftsman Professional" line is still good quality. It's farmed out too, but to name-brand OEMs. I have a string trimmer from that line that's a relabeled Husqvarna... very pleased with it.
