Is Craftsman really dead though? The quality doesn't seem to have gotten any worse after Black & Decker acquired them.

At Lowe's, Craftsman is bottom of the barrel for power tools we sell.

In my home town the older kids had a hang out in the woods. Dirty mags everywhere. No idea where they got them. But my friends and I made sure to sneak some when we got the chance
