"Faulty robots derail Craftsman's $90M plan to revive Texas manufacturing"

Craftsman's $90 million plan to bring manufacturing back to Texas and produce American-made tools using advanced robotic technology has failed. The state-of-the-art plant, owned by Stanley Black & Decker, experienced continuous issues with the automated system, resulting in low production and the eventual closure of the factory. The failure highlights the challenges faced by U.S. manufacturers attempting to reshore production and utilize domestic steel. The limited number of tools produced at the plant have now become collector's items, with sets selling for double their original retail price on eBay.
