Very true! Emerson Electric now manufactures the Rigid line for HD

they did a good job with the new contractor's saw.

Sears went searching for a new supplier. The found Ryobi. I'll leave
the quality discussion up to you.



Now you have me confused. I read in this NG about a year or so ago
that Emerson had stopped making stationary power tools for the Ridge
Tool Company (which are marketed through HD) and that now they are
made by Ryobi.
