Nalu Rash Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 That's some pretty good food for thought. Thanks for the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I think Ryobi is still a license agreement with TTI like Ridgid. Ryobi still has their own line of tools only sold in Japan. http://www.ryobi-group.co.jp/en/projects/powertools/products/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteW Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 cool stuff i never knew Bosch owned Freud/Diablo, i feel like they both make the best when it comes to drilling bits and cutting blades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyMcGrath Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 cool stuff i never knew Bosch owned Freud/Diablo, i feel like they both make the best when it comes to drilling bits and cutting blades.It's only been a short period of time that Bosch acquired Freud. One of the Accesories Reps from Bosch said about 2 years. And Frued still operates on their own. It's pretty much just the majority of shares are owned by Bosch. (Don't quote me as I may have the incorrect terminology, but you get the idea). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradboulanger Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Any truth to the rumors that milwaukee and Ryobi share internals? I have always dismissed this but I have heard it a few times from various people. Sent from my SGH-T999L using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conductor562 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Let's not forget about the SB&D hand tool empire. Mac, Proto, Blackhawk, Stanley, Facom, Virax, and others.Also, Milwaukee bought Empire levels awhile back. TTI also owns Hoover and Dirt Devil vacuum brands and a couple other companies too I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 This reminds me of when I worked at Home Depot in the lawn & garden department. I don't think most people realize that Scotts Miracle-Gro owns the majority of lawn and garden products sold in Home Depot & Lowes. Porter Cable is kind of an oddity right now. To me at least, it seems like SB&D doesn't really know what they want this line to specialize in. They seem to be under a constant revamping process. I kind of wonder if SB&D were thinking of having PC go head to head with Ryobi while Lowes wanted their Kobalt line to go head to head with Ryobi. It was a few years ago that SB&D was pushing the Bostitch name real hard, especially in the hand tools arena at Lowes. Then they ended up putting out a lot of hand tools under the DeWalt name at Home Depot. I think (TTI) Milwaukee has done a good job of really going after DeWalt (SB&D) at Home Depot in both the power tool and hand tool aisles. While on the topic of SB&D, I know I have heard a lot of mechanics and other wrench turners complaining that Mac has really taken a turn for the worse in quality.

Conductor562 Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Mac was slumping for awhile, but the last couple of years they have really turned things around and put some great tools to market 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
