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

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.
Eventually, the "less effective" tweaks will settle to the bottom, and the more effective ones will be assimilated by the group. Then someone will tweak the tweak. That's when the fun begins. - Billfred [more]
