Once Western Forge had no distribution path to sell their USA made tools, they went out of business in 2020. So anything you think of as Craftsman Quality went out of business with them.
Now Craftsman still claims to be "bringing" some of the manufacturing back to the USA but many tool web sites noted this seems to be aspirational but not reality. But it is always "coming soon"
I work in aviation and work with a lot of people in automotive, and no exaggeration, you'd get less funny jokes if you showed up with a tool chest of HF. It's strange to see a brand that was so well respected and once in everyone's toolbox be relegated to the equivalent of Stanley or BD which you see in mom's junk drawer but not in a shop.
The whole industry is seeing their loyalty evaporate since they have nothing to be loyal to. Students in aviation or car repair schools used to buy $2500 student starter kit of tools that were 50% off with student prices from Craftsman, Snap-On, etc, and use that same brand till they died. But now the tools from these brands are not quality and students can see plenty of the better HF stuff has youtube videos showing it can match the specs of the formerly expected of the top line $$$ brands

Note: 3/8" Drive and 12-Point, but still seems OK
