Tools Craftsman Hand

Is it true that Sears' Craftsman brand power tools are made by Ryobi?

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 started buying craftsman tools back in the 60's and most of them still perform like new. recently bought a new drill press and a couple of other tools which lasted about a week before they burned up. I went looking for another drill press and found one for 1/5 th price of the craftsman but it had the same motor on it. so I switched motors. Originally, Sears bought only the best tools and put their name on them - Like Emerson made their power saws, Whirlpool made their Kitchen and Laundry appliances etc. -- not so any more. Today everything is made in the Pacific Rim countries like China and Taiwan and so quality goes along with jobs.
