In fact, Craftsman did make Whitworth. I bought several sets of Whitworth sockets and wrenches in the 60s to do repairs on my 1955 BSA A10. Unfortunately they were stolen along with multiple sets of "old" Craftsman SAE and metrics about 5 years ago. The quality of the recent Craftsman is not good, IMO.
