They seem to be doing quite well with their DeWalt line.

Yes, I own some DeWalt tools. If you look at the drills, the chuck is far
better than the B & D ones. Of course, the drill is $200 instead of $50 so
you should be getting much more.

The B & D stuff is now made for Joe or Mary Homeowner that uses the drill
maybe once a year. Many years ago it was the stuff professionals used
because of the high quality. That changed probably 15 years ago, maybe
more.
