Who owns Craftsman?

The 2017 purchase had a net present value of about $900 million. The announcement gave Stanley Black & Decker rights to develop, manufacture and sell Craftsman outside the specified Sears channels; that exception matters when researching older Sears products. [3]

Ownership guides: DeWalt

Who actually makes Craftsman products?

The annual report places Craftsman in the same Tools & Outdoor business as DeWalt. It separates DIY-oriented power tools from hand tools, accessories, storage and lawn equipment. A brand-wide answer cannot identify the maker of every historical Sears item. [1][3]

Where are Craftsman products made?

The December 2021 S2000 announcement specifically identifies Sedalia production with global materials. It provides a useful US manufacturing example without establishing the origin of V20 drills, sockets or lawn tractors. [4]

Is Craftsman made in China or the USA?

Some Craftsman products have documented US production: S2000 storage was made in Sedalia with global materials. A blanket US-made or China-made claim for all Craftsman tools is Unconfirmed in this review. [4]

Same factory, different label

Craftsman and DeWalt share Stanley Black & Decker ownership. The annual report lists both brands across multiple product groups, but does not establish that a Craftsman drill is a relabeled DeWalt or that both use one factory. [1]
