Which Brands Own Which Power Tool Companies? - Core77

When it comes to power tool brands, did you know that Bosch owns Dremel? That Milwaukee and Ryobi are owned by the same company? That the same company that owns Festool also owns Sawstop? How about this absurd fact: Stanley Black & Decker now owns DeWalt, Stanley, Black + Decker,

So I never did get around to those park benches but will be doing so soon among other shit-needs-fixing stuff. "Need" corded table saw and compound sliding mitre, are the DeWalt ones at HD good to go? Doesn't have to be DeWalt but I would like to get something of decent quality.

As far as their table saws go, for some reason there's no 10" corded DeWalt available? They all say out of stock online and not available in stores.

For the mitre, was thinking about this one: https://www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-...l-Sliding-Compound-Miter-Saw-DWS779/206541015

I use the dws780 for a mitre saw. It's a very nice saw.

For a table saw, I have an old rigid that I work hard and it just keeps going.

I have the similar model but the cordless version. No complaints.
Put a Diablo blade on it and let er rip.

We just launched a few of many new impacts. They are the 3/8” and 1/2” Atomic impacts, things are awesome! More compact design vs the smallest impact we currently have and way more balls. Pull lugs off no problem 300 ft lbs of fastening torque and 450 ft lbs of breakaway. 4 speed settings with Precision Wrench. Love it!

Not to change the subject, but do you guys have anything like this?

So is the atomic line the compact models now? I thought in the past they were more entry level vs the XR models. I think when I got my 1/4” the atomic version wasn’t brushless.

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

No idea. Dewalt made it too confusing. Really, the surge version of MKE shit is like this too. I don’t want to have to google shit when shopping to figure out WTF it is.

I don't disagree, it is not clear. Our 2 biggest customers are Lowes & Home Depot, we offer differentiated lines to each of them. Our new 12V line is only available at Lowes and the Atomic line is specific to Home Depot. The whole idea of Atomic is a compact size with larger tool performance.

 

[greasy]

When I say “only offered” I mean 12V is not offered at Home Depot and Atomic is not offered at Lowe’s. You can get both through other retailers.

Ryobi guy here. Still figuring out the difference between HP and High Performance. Some HP tools have extra connectors for HP batteries, and some don’t, while new HP batteries don’t have the extra connectors but the old ones do. They say its all in the electronics in the tools now, but does that mean my old HP batteries aren’t High Performance?

My head hurts.

Buy a high output 2.5 battery pack for $79 and get a free ratchet. There are other choices as well.

Ordered. Thanks

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Ratchet any good?

 

[smug]

Damn. Good deal

 

[DEEZUZ]

Open to offers on ratchet

 

[GTPpower]

The ratchet is very handy. This will be my 3rd one. I broke the 1st, and was lost without it while the second one was shipped. Now I'll have a spare.

 

[DEEZUZ]

It gone?

 

[Pewter-Camaro]

Damn.. looked at this deal 30 mins ago. Went back now and page is gone.

[DEEZUZ]

I don't run the 3/8 ratchets, only the 1/4....

The only 3/8s I have it the 90 impact and it's terrible and serves 1 purpose lol.

I probably won't use this ratchet. But I damn sure needed the battery.

 

[GTPpower]

I think their website might have crashed. This was posted on sloppy mechanics. So they probably can't handle all that slop.

 

[DEEZUZ]

My thoughts too... The Company still uses the AS400 so this ain't surprising
