The Iconic American Brands Are No Longer American

Craftsman tools, synonymous with home improvement, are widely available at major retailers such as Lowe’s, Sears, Home Depot, and Walmart. Although rooted in American manufacturing, Craftsman has extended some of its production to Taiwan and China by corporate decision.

Craftsman’s production is a collaboration of global manufacturing, with Apex Tool Group in Taiwan and China producing sockets, wrenches, and ratchets, and Western Forge in the U.S. This strategic partnership reflects Craftsman’s blend of American quality with international manufacturing.
