Home Depot has rolled out a ton of Ridgid brand hand tools. What's
the word on the quality? Also, who is OEMing all this stuff. Is it
Black and Decker?

Ridgid is a name that's been around UK for a long time in pipe fitting
tools. Their quality is very good in that area. Their web
site(http://www.ridgid.com/Tools/Frequently-Asked-Questions/) says they are
owned by a US company who I have never come across. You may know them
better.
