CJP asked:

I’ve got 40 year old Craftsman tools handed down by my grandfather. They still work great. I recently purchased several NEW Craftsman power tools such as a 2 HP router and a 1/2″ drive 18 volt drill. I’ve also purchased some hand tools such as a 90 degree corner clamp.

Almost all of my recent Craftsman purchases have resulted in catastrophic failure of the tools. My drill LITERALLY burst into a cloud of smoke, my router locked up tight, my corner clamp broke (and they wouldn’t replace the clamp saying it wasn’t a “hand tool”, it had only been about 6 weeks), and my regular clamps’ grips came off.

Seems like Craftsman has really gone WAAAAYYYY downhill lately. I won’t make any more Craftsman purchases. I recently bought a Ryobi 18v drill, but then I heard that Ryobi makes some of Craftman’s stuff. Is it true? Did I essentially purchase another crappy product?

I’m looking to get a bench sander, I see Sears has the belt and disc type, and I see some other brands (Home Depot) have a spindle type with different size spindles.

Which do you think is better for general woodworking?
