Unless I'm mistaken, the Rigid stuff is made by Emerson who was the old
Sears OEM going back to the 50's maybe earlier.


Sorry, but a couple of months ago, Emerson stopped making the Ridgid line.
All will be replaced with new models.

I just looked at the "Husky" compressors at HD. The motor nameplate
still says Emerson Electric. Looks like they're changing the Rigid line
but not the Husky line.

I've not seen any new Rigid stationary machines yet.
