Heard about that, be interesting to see what happens to these brands and what they do with them

[Eric - TIA]

Interesting.  I think Stanley Black & Decker needs to focus more on their own brands and getting them up and running before they tackle new businesses.

Soon, everything will be owned by one company...

I want to dig a bit deeper into this purchase, and see if maybe there are some patents involved.

Nooooooo. I think that's devastating for individuality in tools. Massive fan of Stanley Tools And Irwin,Lenox. But not under same banner...

Yet.

Just wait.
At the rate companies keep swallowing other companies, it won't be long before there is 1-2 controlling it all. Capitalism at its finest and the illusion of choice.
