Sears does not make Craftsman products. Ryobi is a Home Depot only brand, but Techtronic Industries owns it. Techtronics make Craftsman power tools. They also own Hoover vacuums and Homelight chainsaws.
there is a difference in Sears brand tool and Craftsman,just like with washers and dryers
it is mostly what the company,like say Sears has order the company to install in it and then they market it as there own brand
which I do like Sears Kenmore products,when I was young mom and dad gave me there old Kenmore washer and dryer,they lasted me another good 10 to 15 years after they were given to me
when i sold the dryer for 50 bucks,the guy said,damn the light still works on it,it had the same fluorescent light,that came with it, the washer did have the gear box on it lock up after around 25 years of service
come to think of it.i still have the monkey wards fridge and dryer that they gave me too,I had to replace the washing machine a couple of years ago and bought a Kenmore
the fridge is still working and it has to be close to 30 years old and could be older than that,nothing like monkey wards either
