Craftsman Air Compressor Information
In North America, Craftsman air compressors are the house brand for Sears stores, making the Craftsman air compressor line available through the Sears network of stores nation wide, as well as other select big-box type stores everywhere.
I guess we’ll just have to wait and see how the Sears saga will unfold, and whether or not Sears will even be in the picture in years to come to either sell, or provide information on, their air compressors.

Where are Craftsman Compressors Made?
A reader sent in a question asking where Craftsman compressors were made, here was the response:
I believe that they are made for Craftsman by one of the major compressor suppliers in North America.
And, that major compressor supplier will likely have parts and assembly of those air compressors farmed out to lower cost producing countries.
To be specific as to the actual manufacturer of your Craftsman air compressor, you will have to start with the year it was made. I believe, as years go buy, Craftsman, like other compressor sellers, get their compressors from the lowest cost source, and that compressor manufacturer will change over time depending on who bids the lowest when they go out for tender.
I’d be very, very surprised if any but the most expensive industrially oriented Craftsman air compressors were made in the USA. I would bet that most low cost Craftsman came from offshore.
