The Craftsman brand was started as a house brand by Sears in 1927. However, after Sears went through bankruptcy in 2017, the rights to the Craftsman name were sold to Stanley Black & Decker. They bought the brand for $900 million. Sears still retains a limited license to sell Craftsman products.
Craftsman chainsaws are now made in China and are mostly imported by MTD products. Craftsman has manufacturing facilities in many states across the US where many Craftsman products are constructed and finished, though this does not apply to their chainsaws.

Craftsman Chainsaw Manufacturer
Sears never manufactured Craftsman’s chainsaws themself. They outsourced production to other manufacturers who would make the products according to Sear’s designs and specifications. They would then white label the Craftsman brand name.
Husqvarna is one often cited company that has made Craftsman chainsaws over the years.
Craftsman chainsaws usually had unique or exclusive features or functions that set them apart from the manufacturer’s own line of chainsaws, though at times they could be identical.

However, for whatever reason, the chainsaws are not manufactured or assembled in the USA such as Stihl chainsaws. Rather, in the vein of Remington chainsaws and/or Echo chainsaws they are made offshore.
Craftsman chainsaws are very cheap for what you are getting, and that’s probably not possible to achieve if they were made in the USA.
