Yes. Black and Decker bought PC and Delta last Christmas. Thus B & D now
sells tools under their own name, PC, Delta, and DeWalt.

Actually, B&D just bought Pentair's tool division (Delta, Porter-Cable, and
maybe some other brands). Pentair still exists with other business lines
outside of what they sold to B&D.

No. Separate companies. However B&D now owns Delta and PC.

Something funny I heard a while back... when B+D bought out DeWalt and
started moving into the contractor market, their competitors coined the
phrase "Yellow-Deckers" in referring to DeWalt products.

Ha Ha ha h..., ummmm.... sorry of you've already heard it.

LOL, I suppose we can start looking for the Grey and Decker Unisaws at
Wal-Mart.

Black and Decker bought all of the assets of the Pentair Tool Group on
October 3, 2004. This included the legal entity Delta International
Machinery. The names included are Delta, Porter Cable, Devilbiss Air
Power Products and all of their private branded names, Biesemeyer, and
any products that are sold when imported by Orion such as the Sears
Cabinet saw that was introduced last year with a Biesemeyer fence
system.

These are all B & D brand names and private brands, not separate
companies.
