Speeed’s take
Back-off test after twenty reps: the modern budget Craftsman opened up nearly a full millimetre, the fifty-year-old one did better. Worth knowing that Sears moved Craftsman production overseas in the nineties, then a hedge fund manager finished the job — the brand went to Black & Decker in 2017.
“Everything looks tighter and more accurate on the old tool. Okay, so it performed better as well as just feeling better and looking better.”
