- rascul 4y agoAlso I would like to note that anything from Stanley Black & Decker after the merger is of low quality compared to other brands, in my experience. With the possible exception of Mac.
- dopylitty 4y agoI had a friend who worked at Stanley Tools as a mechanical engineer after college. What they said about how tools were wholly sourced from random factories with no design or engineering done by Stanley was one of the first things that made me realize brands mean nothing.
- xattt 4y agoInfographic is missing Hitachi. I assume they are on their own then?
- rascul 4y agoThey merged with Metabo. Or maybe bought them. Can't remember which.
- bloggie 4y agoHitachi tools are now Metabo HPT since Hitachi sold off that division. Snap-On might be the last true independent.
- zihotki 4y agoThat's only in North America, in EU/Asia they're Hikoki. And in EU there is still Metabo.
