You need to write Rubbermaid and ask them why they aren't allowing
Record to be brought into this country now that they own American Tool
Co. (Vise-grip (tm) and picked up the distributorship rights that they
aren't exercising. They now have Marples as well so there are more
problems coming.

For the most part, it's the same products etc from the old labels but the
labels have been changed and consolidated and focused for different market
areas etc. It's just that the products and brands are all mixed up in a
jumble so you don't know what to look for (and won't recognize it when you
find it. -- it's just the same magical whiz-bang MBA horse**** that's led
to so many other companies going belly up in the name of uh, ... yeah, that
thing ... no, the one over there behind the ...).
