Just be careful on what you buy. I'm seeing more "Made in China" Craftsman stuff than I'd like.
On their hand tools? Last I knew, all the Craftsman hand tool were made in USA, though the power tools could be sourced from elsewhere. They sold China-made hand tools from elsewhere, but under the plain Sears name or others (like Companion).
In Weatherford, Ok. the Ace Hardware has more Craftsman tools than Sears or Big K (don't forget Big K is part of Sears).
If it doesn't have to be new, try Mary's Flea Market. A guy there has Snap On on a regular basis too.

Their normal line of tools is still American made but the newer ratchet wrench type of stuff is marked Craftsman on one side and Made in China on the other. Not saying they're bad tools but just know what you're buying.
The Craftsman Evo stuff is almost ALL chinese made. Those are some crappy tools, but not as bad as Stanley or Kobalt crap. Still great warranties though.
Anything but sears nonpowered handtools suck. I traded a tape measure in the other day and had to get a stanley. Crafsman doesnt even make them anymore. They did change it out but told me they will not be doing that in the future.
