The whole brand has went down the drain but at one time I think the
Black & Decker QA fallout wound up in Walmart and KMart.

At one time the Black and Decker was good tools. They went down hill.
Didn't they come out with the DeWalt brand that is a much higher quality
as the B&D name was ruined ?

Seems that some companies that had good quality were bought just for the
name and reputation. Then they went out of the counrty and the quality
went with them. A few have came back to the states with better quality.

Yeah, Black & Decker bought DeWalt in the '60s. B&W recently merged with
Stanley. Sooner or later BlackRock will own everything.
