Craftsman introduced Craftsman Industrial, a new line of mechanic hand tools available for the heavy-duty needs of industrial and maintenance professionals.

"We are pleased to announce the launch of Craftsman Industrial to build on the value of our Craftsman brand in a way that is consistent with customer expectations and requirements," said Scott Freidheim, executive vice president, Sears Holdings and president, Kenmore, Craftsman & Diehard. "We know that professionals already respect and trust the Craftsman brand in their own lives, so our expansion into this new segment is natural extension of our brand."
Each Craftsman Industrial hand tool is made of tough alloy steel, heat treated, oil-quenched and tempered for uniform hardness and maximum strength. The tools are put through a series of rigorous tests in the Craftsman Labs at the brand's headquarters in Hoffman Estates, Ill.
Craftsman Industrial offers:
- A broad assortment of mechanic hand tools
- Hand Tools made in the USA
- The Craftsman Lifetime Hand Tool Warranty
- Exclusive availability for customers in the industrial, commercial and manufacturing; government and military; automotive, transportation and fleet maintenance; technical education and construction industries.
"The Craftsman brand is built on innovation and quality, and in keeping with that commitment, we're launching this line of mechanics hand tools that works as hard as the professionals who use them," said Kris Malkoski, vice president and general manager of the Craftsman brand. "Our industrial products are built to endure the demanding conditions of a work site and designed to give professionals the confidence they need to get the job done."
