Old Craftsman was still high quality. Most is made in China now...or just overpriced and not very good.

We've had a few HF power tools for a few months and there's been nothing wrong with them. The drill press drills, the miter saw saws, and the grinder grinds. They never broke, had any safety issues, or otherwise been a concern.

While they probably could work smoother (the miter saw just has a weird feel to me, after using a Ryobi last year), they work fine and we don't have any major issues with them.
Wait until you've had it all for a year or so and if you use it hard enough it'll be broken or developing issues.

If it works for you that's great, but there's certainly better stuff out there.
