          These are made in China by Stanley Black and Decker* (who bought the brand from Sears in 2017).  SBD is opening up a plant in Fort Worth Texas to make hand tools for the Craftsman brand. That plant...

          FWIW, they (SBD) also owns Mac Tools, Irwin, Proto, Porter Cable, and everyone's beloved DeWalt. Yup, SBD owns and manufactures DeWalt power and hand tools.

          That had to have been the case for a long time though. I used to have this radial arm saw branded both B&D and DeWalt.

          This is incorrect. DeWalt was founded in 1923 - was not created by B&D. It was sold off the first time in 1949 and then to B&D in 1960 when B&D was still making decent quality tools. It wasn't until...

          Dewalt has always been owned by B&D.  They created them back in the day to escape the negative context B&D had with professionals.  Kept it under wraps for a while like when toyota introduced Lexus.

          72 tooth ratchets.... pass! I picked up a set with two 120 teeth 3/8 and 1/4 ratchets for $75. Much more worth it than filler pieces IMO. It was their gunmetal set geared toward mechanics. After...

          They’re set in flimsy labeled plastic trays. For $75 I can deal with it and find a better solution down the road.

          If BrickSeek shows $99, that’s probably the same price in the store. If Lowes.com is showing $99, check Brickseek. They may show the $75 price. If they do, that’s probably what it will ring up at in...

          are these in plastic bags in a cardboard box or do they come with their own red plastic container to hold them?

          My local Lowes has this set for $99. I asked the sales representative to price check and they did change the price to $74.98. I returned my Kobalt  227 mechanic tool set ($99) for this set.

          Brickseek reported 3 of them at my store.  But I could only find 1.  It was kinda "hidden" by the other sizes.   I wanted to get 2, but got one as a gift. 
 
Good size/set for the price.

          If anyone in WA is looking there is 2 up in the air above the washer and dryer hook up parts in the Rainer Lowes in Seattle. Doesn't show in our inventory, but they are up there. 
 
I'll keep them...

          I was able to find a set.  Can anyone recommend a good toolbox to fit this set?  The plastic trays are too nice to throw away, I’d like to find a toolbox with drawers to fit the trays.

          Yep. I had the same thing. Just go in the store and take it to the counter, I did it this morning and it rang up as 75 like brick seek says even though the clearance tag said 99..

          are these serviceable ratchets you can open up or garbage you throw away when broken?

          Forget nations, Apple, Amazon, NBA, movie companies - they're all propaganda arms for China now.  It should be against the law in the US.

          Looks like 174 real tools and 69 driver bit/fillers...  Craftsman quality has been progressively getting worse year over year.  Are these made in USA, Taiwan or China?
