While both DeWalt and Craftsman are fairly good brands, overall, the former is manufacturing what could be considered to be slightly better tools. Another key point to note is that Craftsman tools tend to have more 20V options as opposed to 12V. While the latter might have less power, they are also lighter and much more portable, so keep that in mind when buying your tools. In general, Craftsman tools are considered to be of lower quality than DeWalt, but they are also cheaper.
It also comes with a removable divider so you can store larger tools in the bottom, and smaller items up top. Similarly, Craftsman has a wide product catalog of hex keys, hand saws, measuring tools, nut drivers, pliers, cutters, hammers, screwdrivers, and other hand tools. DeWalt offers a selection of axes, hammers, hand saws, torque wrenches, impact sockets, knives, blades, manual fastening tools, clamps, wood chisels, ratchets, piers, and many more items. DeWalt was acquired in 1960 and continued to produce radial arm saws, table saws, belt/disc sanders and other stationary power equipment.
At these price points and with the full support of Stanley parent company behind them it is no surprise the Dewalt mechanics tools should be a high quality well thought out line aimed to construction professionals. What is very surprising to us however is Dewalt’s approach of going to market. Dewalt has made an exclusive agreement with Sears and Sears.com to be the only outlet these mechanic tools will be available for at least the first several months and possibly as long as the rest of 2013. On the combination wrenches themselves you will see the Anti-Slip Design which is a very nice feature used in their premium Proto products and can improve gripping power by 400% over standard designs. We got to see this in action as the Dewalt team lifted an engine block held in place by one of their combination wrenches at a very steep angle and nothing more than the ASD feature to keep it in place. Other premium features include 72 position gear in all sized ratchets, oversized handles, deep etching on sockets and flip up rails on the socket kits.
Different projects require a variety of tools to be completed, and Toolbarn is your one-stop shop for all of these. From our broad selection of DeWalt products, you are sure to find just what you need including self-leveling, rotary laser kits, tool cases, ToughSystem carriers and cases and much more. Every purchase is backed by our customer satisfaction guarantee, and there are frequent manufacturer discounts available. DeWalt’s power tool kit boxes have been pretty decent in recent years, but my heart skipped a beat when I first laid eyes on the new ToughSystem modular tool boxes. Everything about the storage system looked to be designed for punishment.

The exception might be they have made a name for the Fatmax tape measure brand as a premium. It is sold as a cheap brand so it is positioned to be somewhere at the bottom end such as tools made for distribution by Walmart. SBD has other brands but currently they are marketing Craftsman as their mid grade. Husky is the HD house brand just like Kobalt is the Lowe’s house brand.
The various tools are made by various companies and HD occasionally rotates manufacturers. So it’s a bit of a crap shoot but usually similar to the Craftsman brand but positioned to siphon off a few dollars of SBD royalty money. This sub is for tool enthusiasts worldwide to talk about tools, professionals and hobbyists alike.
Meanwhile, DeWalt offers 20V Max and FLEXVOLT systems for its power tools. Dewalt has eight 20V Max drill/drivers and three 20V Max hammer drills. Craftsman has twelve impact drivers and impact wrenches, and about eight cordless drills and hammer drills. Besides these, they both have a large selection of air tools, nailers, grinders, saws, heat guns, planers, jointers, lights, sanders, wet/dry vacuums, radios, etc. Black & Decker was long associated with lighter weight consumer tools such as household appliances, and not the heavy duty equipment professional builders wanted.
