All my tools are Craftsman except the few Snap Ons I have. Just today I was cranking my Red Max leaf blower that I have had for around 15 years. It has never failed to start right up as well as the weed eater I bought at the same time. If I need a tool, it will be a Craftsman and same way with the lawn equipment except Red Max. The only bad thing about that leaf blower is it's a back pack and as I get older, I find it harder and harder to put it on.
I hate things made in any Asian country. Cheap and throw away after they quit. And that's where all our manufacturing went.
At least mine did.
