I've never had problems with Craftsman. I'm in at this price. Thank you.
old craftsman was American made and had life time warranty

New craftsman is on sale for $60+ from $160+ MSRP because nobody that know anything about tools bothers to buy it..Buy anything but Chinese made tools

Biggest joke is most Ace stores are franchised and do not honor lifetime warranty. Have to swap out at Lowe's, so hard pass just on that aspect.

I would skip Craftsman altogether.
They are very, very cheaply made and it's a crap shoot as to whether Lowe's will honor the warranty.
Lots of posts on this site about Lowe's turning folks away. Even with receipts showing they were bought at a Lowe's.
ToolGuyD did a article about how Lowe's is basically killing the Craftsman brand by not honoring warranties.

Lol I love how brand ambassador anwers to " where is the set made?" question

Made in China set.. won't last and will rust. Pass

Tools you buy once and cry once
Sounds like you don't know how to use the tools. Rusting? Where do you store your tools? There is nothing wrong with Husky, Kobalt or Craftsman for the homeowner. Even the Harbor Freight Pittsburgh tool set gets the job done for many. Why do you think the 159 piece Craftsman set at Lowe's has a 4.6 out of 5 rating? Husky, Kobalt and Craftsman are getting positive reviews because they are getting the job done. You may be one of those owners who don't use breaker bars when needed and use the ratchet instead. When the ratchet gets busted on a seized rusty bolt, you blame the ratchet rather than blame user error.

I miss the old craftsman tools. That warranty was just so good, and the tools where great. I'm still looking for a replacement for their 6-point box end wrenches. They could really take the abuse.

Has a few bits, but not a bad set.
This is an impressive 159 piece set for $69. It is good that it has a bit driver and 20x speciality bits. People think that bits are just junk fillers but they are definitely needed especially if one keeps it in a car. 20x speciality bits is definitely respectable needed amount.

FWIW... Lowe's has a 159 piece Craftsman set on sale for $99.99 now (retail $199.99).

this deal: CMMT12125 - 159pcs, now $69 was $169
recent deal here: CMMT12025 - 159pcs, now $99 was $199
(recent SD thread [deal still available BTW] for item CMMT12025 https://slickdeals.net/f/17461794-159-piece-craftsman-mechanics-tool-set-sae-metric-99-free-shipping)
Both deals are 159 pcs, seem exactly the same to me, though the cases are physically configured quite differently.
Only true difference I can notice is that the CHEAPER set seems to have a more "robust looking" (and red) hand driver! If anyone knows the actual reason these two sets are $30 difference when on supposedly deep sale, please let me/us know. I bought the previous $99 set, frankly very pleased with what I was getting. Now this new cheaper configuration looks like it has all the same stuff, at just $69!
My "use case" is that every once in a while I need a tool, but I never have it. I don't remember ever breaking a tool or thinking "Gee this tool isn't good enough for me". I'm exactly who these tools were made for, I guess. Almost never use them, and if I do it will be light and quick usage. I haven't even broken the seal on the new box I bought a short while back, if that sheds light on how frequently they'll get used around here.
Craftsman website link to THIS THREAD'S item, 159 pcs: https://www.craftsman.com/products/CMMT12125/
Craftsman website link to PREVIOUS THREAD item, 159 pcs I previously bought: https://www.craftsman.com/products/cmmt12025/
...They know no human is ever going to go over the two parts lists with a fine tooth comb and literally check every single item. The world may never know, -just like with Tootsie Roll Pops.
Anyway, if they really are the same, I'd buy this cheaper set too, and gift it to a fellow non-mechanic like me.
I've included a photo detailing the contents of both sets, to enable a perfunctory comparison. This thread deal (CMMT12125) is the picture with the hand driver that's red colored.
