    Interesting.  I didn't know that either.  Good to know the relationship with Works & Rockwell.  Wonder how well they will sell?

    I'm not thinking well at all. The cordless power tool market is pretty saturated in all markets. I would be curious to see how Flex is doing regarding sales.

  2. Here is a site that sells adapters https://powertoolsadapters.com/

     

    I know the tools still work, but considering the cost and investment in new batteries. Depending on the amount of tools you have it might be a better investment to look into buying something new to replace them. It is wasteful and full on consumerism, but it might make the best financial sense.

    Tell me about it.  When I worked for the Cadillac dealership in the late '90's, GM still had a 20% stake in Subaru, and the cafeteria at the General Motors Technical College campus in Northern Virginia proudly sported the logos of every major GM brand at the time Cadillac, Buick, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Hummer, GMC, Saturn, and Saab.  The dealership went from exclusively selling Cadillac in 1999 to also selling Hummer, Saab, and Subaru by 2001.  Of course, my time there overlapped with the Opel-based Catera's run--"The Caddy That Zigs!".  There were so many badge swaps that I am still learning about them, but every major auto manufacturer has been doing this for decades, whether it's Ford/Mazda, Pontiac/Holden, or Dodge Mitsubishi.

    I wouldn't mind going back to the 90's the automotive market is so freaking boring now no one is willing to take any risks.

  4. Lowes and Flex could have a winner if they pull the Milwaukee playbook when TTI took over they really positioned the brand as a good value proposition with great features and tech. What got people to buy into Mke was the innovative tools, but also the fact they had crazy promotions back then like buy a kit and get 2 4.0 ah batteries.
