Welcome to the Craftsman Tool Manufacturer and Date Range Summary Table, This table contains the Series Codes (manufacturers ID), the Manufacturers Names (if known), and the Date Ranges (years, if known) that the series codes apply to. This table includes only mechanics hand tools, general hand tools, and some machinist tools specifically identified with series codes. This table excludes power tools, wood working tools, yard and garden tools, and any hand tools not specifically identified with series codes. This table represents the combined efforts of numerous members of the Garage Journal, The Garage Gazette, and the Craftsman Club websites. It is considered a work in progress and is subject to change as new information becomes available. The sources of information used to compile this table include, but are not limited to the following: 1) Members personal tool collections, observations, and purchase recollections, 2) Sears and Craftsman Tool catalogs, 3) Alloy Artifacts Website (a most excellent resource), 4) Patent filings, Trade Mark filings, and FTC filings, 5) Assorted News Service articles, and 6) Various Tool Manufacturers websites and catalogs.
