About 35-40 years ago B&D was a decent brand tool. Then they started
color coding their power tools into cheaper built units. Looks like
they are leading PC sown that same path. The tools even look kinda
B&D'ish.

IIRC, and please correct me if I am wrong about this, isn't there some
large corporation that owns B&D, PC, DeWalt, and Delta tools?

So, when are this mega corporation going to buy out Milwaukee tools, and/
or Makita (SP?) Tools, or will Hitachi buy out all of them?

I blame it all on Sears and Craftsman tools.
