- This article is about the Canadian Tire brand, and not related to the Mastercraft product line sold in the US at Menards, where the brand is used primarily for interior & exterior Doors.
Mastercraft (stylized MasterCraft) is the Canadian Tire exclusive hardware line of products. It is broken down into two lines: Mastercraft, which is the household series, and Mastercraft Maximum (formerly the Mastercraft Professional Series), which is the new professional series. Warranties on lifetime guarantee products such as screwdrivers, socket sets, etc., are often honored without proof of purchase. Warranties with time limits such as those for power tools from Mastercraft or Mastercraft Maximum (often 3 and 5 years respectively) will only be honored with a proof of purchase.
The items that are carried are classified in six categories, Stationary Power Tools, Handheld Power Tools, Hand Tools, Air Tools, Tool/Garage Storage, and Other Hardware accessories.

These include: table saws, bench grinders, table or spindle sanders, drill presses, arc welders, etc.
