Craftsman Tools - Back to the USA

It's usually pretty obvious. Typically the older the tool the prettier it is. I've bought some used old wrenches back when I started gathering tools, and they were all polished triple-chromed. Then later ones only had the ends polished, with the center left bead blasted. Then even later they don't even bother finishing the center and just left them more-or-less in the raw forged state. Last time I looked in the Craftsman store cabinet, some of the open-ends aren't even polished.

It's the same way with other brands. I bought some Cobalt wrenches when Lowes first introduced them. They are the prettiest ones in all my collection. Then over the years they cheapened the finish just like Craftsperson.

I need to re-look at mine to see which ones are which.
