generic chinese bottom end stuff. you're probably better off buying
that kind of equipment from harbor freight. not that the tools will be
better, but at least there is somebody there for you to return it to
for warranty processing when it explodes....

Companies seem to buy and sell each other at such a rate, swapping names,
stock and management, and making whatever makes bucks, almost any seems
possible.
I still remember an assigned M-1, manufactured by Rock-Ola, which was
immediately right, in the rack, of an IBM....

I think the OP is talking about the cheap Chinese "Rand" tools that
are often peddled on ebay. If so, you can get the same level of
quality (some would say lack of quality) for less money from Harbor
Freight.

Terry - What kind of tools?
Rand or Ingersoll Rand (http://www.irtools.com/index.asp) sells a whole host
of industrial and automotive tools including compressors, air and impact
tools and accessories, construction equipment, etc. With regard to
woodworking they are probably best known for compressors, sanding and
finishing equipment.
I believe there was a Rand predecessor to the Ingersoll Rand brands but
cannot remember what they offered - Anyone else??

You in little ol' Boone County, Larry? Give me a hoot, we could be neighbors.

Unrelated company though. Ingersoll-Rand dates back to the 1870s and was
always an air-tool company, the result of the merger of Ingersoll Rock
Drill with the Rand & Waring Drill & Compressor Company in 1905.
Remington-Rand dates to the 1920s and results from the merger of Remington
Typewriter with Rand Kardex.

This appears to be yet another "rand", neither Remington- nor Ingersoll-.
I'd want to see the tool and an address for the manufacturer before I even
thought about buying.

A while back it is the scroll saw that had me searching the 'net for a
maker's website but I found nothing and no link or reference on the
IR site, so.... I would not doubt that IR is controlling production
of these tools in China, who knows. No doubt an email to IR and
these sellers will reveal something. It all LOOKS like decent tools...
it don't tell nuthin'.
...hope this helps,

You found no reference to the tools on the IR site, so you don't doubt IR is
controlling production of the tools?
I see no evidence at all the Ingersoll-Rand has anything to do with these
tools, just as you do. But it leads me to believe that some entrepreneurial
type is looking to make a buck or six off the latest brand name from China, not
that IR is involved.

... then I am rich. richy-rich indeed. Why not you ask IR and tell the group?
I don't feel like typing them an email, I do enough typing in this group and
your sarcasm is undesirable to me. you prove absolutely nothing, especially
in your understanding of the possibility of giant corporate business doings.
What it takes is the genuine understanding of the size in population of the
USA alone, over 270 million people and there is no reason IR would not be
doing it considering massive financial resourses unless they they simply ...

Well NO SHIT man... that's exactly what I said in my last sentence. Take a look.
But it also means IR COULD be doing it, just not saying anything about it. I
think some bigger companies do that.

Yeah, but... Charlie,
They all worked. I bought every one of those gas saving devices and I
had to stop every 100 miles to siphon out the overflow of gas in the tank.

I hope you carried enough extra gas cans. You need your own meter so you can
re-sell the overflow.

Oh man! How thick do you have to be?
Listen up.
China, is found on a map.
Maps, are made by Rand McNally.
Are you there yet?
Seems to me you're sniffing the wrong crotch if you think
Ingersol Rand has any controlling interest in Rand
wooddorking machines when it's as plan as the face behind
your nose who is really pulling the strings over there.

I agree with Lawrence I don't think the Rand tools sold on ebay are
Ingerssol Rand brand. I shamefully purchased a Rand mini lathe, it was
very cheap price, and it performs like the price I paid. Do you hear
birds chirping??? (cheap! cheap!). They are of low quality and I only
purchased to get a feel for turning before I commit to spending big
for a quality lathe.
