9 Aug 2013 - Craftsman Tools

Print

When I first started setting up my shop everything I bought had to say Craftsman on it – it was what I knew. Forty years ago when my dad was buying carpentry tools in a small town there weren't a lot of different options. Today the woodworker has many choices of great quality tools designed for the precision woodworking. I have now greatly diversified my tool collection but, I still have a few Craftsman tools in my shop. But my favorite Craftsman tool will always be my 16oz Craftsman hammer. My dad gave it to me when I was about 12 years old – a real carpenter had to have her own hammer. That hammer will be a part of my shop as long as I have one. Here's to you dad, thank you for the love of the craft!
