why didn't you give me this info on Friday [g].

An 11% pop in the share price today. A coupla hundred shares would have paid for my Unisaw.

Wow. I can not fathom the loss of quality of those other brand names *if* B&D takes over the QC of those other products. I never like B&D and unless they can show me that their quality has improved drastically, i will continue to not buy their products.

Sorry guys. Just my experience.

that's a major chunk of the pie.

Now...will they do the same as they did to Elu or will they continue to expand the line? a complete Porter Cable / DeWalt catalog would make for a lot of power tool choice.....for a while.

I fear this in not really good news!

Hmmmm.... Bright orange Unisaws built completely out out of recycled plastic. That will be a tough sell.

The article says Milwaukee is also up for sale. Very interesting. Maybe TTI/OWT/Ryobi will pick them up.

interesting that it doesn't mention powermatic. I wonder what will happen with them...

Just guessing here, but maybe because WMH Tool Group owns Powermatic...

Powermatic is not owned by that group.

drastically, i will continue to not buy

Calm Down...take a breathe...do not jump to conclusions.....B & D also owns Dewalt...a fine tool maker....I believe that this will make all companies better for us the consumer...it is a done deal...so let us make lemonade and keep a positive attitude...there is no good in sounding off about things that have not happened and most likley will not happen....keep your chin up man
