The article says Milwaukee is also up for sale. Very interesting. Maybe
TTI/OWT/Ryobi will pick them up.

Wow. I can not fathom the loss of quality of those other brand names *if* B&D takes over the QC of those other products.
I never like B&D and unless they can show me that their quality has improved drastically, i will continue to not buy
their products.

Sorry guys. Just my experience.

Calm Down...take a breathe...do not jump to conclusions.....B & D also
owns Dewalt...a fine tool maker....I believe that this will make all
companies better for us the consumer...it is a done deal...so let us
make lemonade and keep a positive attitude...there is no good in
sounding off about things that have not happened and most likley will
not happen....keep your chin up man

Hmmmm.... Bright orange Unisaws built completely out
out of recycled plastic. That will be a tough sell.

Jeezus, why didn't you give me this info on Friday [g].

An 11% pop in the share price today. A coupla hundred shares would
have paid for my Unisaw.

Just guessing here, but maybe because WMH Tool Group owns Powermatic...

I wondered how long it would take before the cat is let out of the bag,
that's a major chunk of the pie.

Now...will they do the same as they did to Elu or will they continue to
expand the line? a complete Porter Cable / DeWalt catalog would make for a
lot of power tool choice.....for a while.

I fear this in not really good news!
