Stanley Buys Black And Decker

Stanley Works to buy Black & Decker

Well, it's almost the time of year when people start thinking about buying B&Ds for Christmas :ho2 .

I wonder what this will mean for DeWalt? Perhaps it's too much to hope that the B&D owned Delta brand might be restored to its former glory.

Hmmm, wouldn't put money on it Gill looking back at Stanley's track record, don't recall them ever improving anything in the last decade or two, or maybe I'm being unduly pessimistic :lol:

Cheers, Paul

You don't think that sweethearts are a step up from the mulch they were churning out before?

I reckon it's still too soon to tell, but somewhere in the higher echelons of the behemoth I think someone has twigged that pile 'em high and sell 'em cheap just won't cut it anymore.
