About Craftsman

Craftsman is a label which traces its roots to 1927, when it was first registered by the Sears department store. The brand has been only recently acquired by Stanley Black & Decker. Their products seem to be assembled in the US, from materials that are sourced abroad. Their selection features a wide range of lawn keeping equipment, including several leaf blowers. Little by little, Craftsman are diversifying their leaf blower offers. Craftsman blowers used to be exclusively handheld and electrically powered, but we now see backpack and gas-powered models. Both their price and specs range from the lower to middle tier.

    I bought this blower in the end of March of this year (22). Used it four times. Always with fresh 50-1 gas. Now it will not start. Lowes was of no assistance. Put in a warranty request with Craftsman. I have not heard from them. Looks like a loss of $259. I would stay away from Craftsman products

    + PROS: The short time that it ran, it started and ran perfectly.
    - CONS: Very poor quality
