Dewalt, Makita, Milwauke, etc are 'malleable/rusty junk'?

The only Craftsmen tools I see on job sites now are wrenches and screwdrivers.

No, I didn't have power tools in mind when I said that. Anything with a motor or more than a few moving parts is worth shopping around.

The basic hand tools and precision instruments are the Craftsman products I find are still worth using. The wrenches, torque wrenches, calipers, hammers, screwdrivers and the like. Nothing electronic or mostly plastic.
