Craftsman was originally founded in 1927 by the retail giant Sears, Roebuck and Company. The brand quickly gained popularity due to its innovative designs and high standards for quality. Over the decades, Craftsman established itself as an essential name in the tool industry, known for providing durable and reliable tools of all kinds. In 2017, the company’s rights were acquired by Stanley Black & Decker, a deal that allowed Craftsman to expand its market reach and return production of many tools to the US. This transition marked a new era for Craftsman, as they continued to innovate and grow under new leadership. Today, Craftsman products are sold in various retail outlets, including Lowe’s, Ace Hardware, and other stores, as well as online.
