These are not made in the USA and are of typical imported tool quality, just the Craftsman name. Pros: It's made of forged steel and is the right quality for most homeowners and is easy to use. Attractive price. Lifetime government guarantee. Cons: Typical imported quality tool. Loose-fitting adjustable mandrel that is not easy to adjust in some parts of the adjustment range. It's really easy to see the A:B difference compared to Crescent USA's older counterpart.
