Terry - What kind of tools?

Rand or Ingersoll Rand

sells a whole host of industrial and automotive tools including compressors, air and impact tools and accessories, construction equipment, etc. With regard to woodworking they are probably best known for compressors, sanding and finishing equipment.

I believe there was a Rand predecessor to the Ingersoll Rand brands but cannot remember what they offered - Anyone else??

Can't swing a dead cat on eBay without numerous hits coming up.

Probably in line with the price you pay.

Then there was Remington-Rand. Office machines.

[J. Clarke]

Unrelated company though. Ingersoll-Rand dates back to the 1870s and was always an air-tool company, the result of the merger of Ingersoll Rock Drill with the Rand & Waring Drill & Compressor Company in 1905. Remington-Rand dates to the 1920s and results from the merger of Remington Typewriter with Rand Kardex.

[Lawrence L'Hote]

AAAHHHH yes indeed, my good man. Born right here in Missouri. Quality??? Seemed okay to me.

right here at the Boone County Fair...sheriff closed down her show, however, because he said," she left too little to the imagination."

Amazing! I didn't know they were made of wood though.

[RonB]

I love it! Clear, accurate, to the point.

What WERE we talking about - I forgot.

So far no one has mentioned Rand McNally or Ayn Rand or Randy Newman or Dresser-Rand or Randy Travis or Rand-Scot Inc. or Frederick S. Pardee Rand Graduate School or Randy Bachman

or it could be...

Companies seem to buy and sell each other at such a rate, swapping names, stock and management, and making whatever makes bucks, almost any seems possible.

I still remember an assigned M-1, manufactured by Rock-Ola, which was immediately right, in the rack, of an IBM....

[Leon]

Also a verb,

I got a new car and Rand the wheels off it.

[Terry Cano]

The name and tool, band saw, came up when doing a search on EBay. I'd never heard of the company. It turns out they also make some other stuff. Some of the specs looked good...but it is hard to tell in the pictures Terry

[J. Clarke]

This appears to be yet another "rand", neither Remington- nor Ingersoll-. I'd want to see the tool and an address for the manufacturer before I even thought about buying.

A while back it is the scroll saw that had me searching the 'net for a maker's website but I found nothing and no link or reference on the IR site, so.... I would not doubt that IR is controlling production of these tools in China, who knows. No doubt an email to IR and these sellers will reveal something. It all LOOKS like decent tools... it don't tell nuthin'.

...hope this helps, Alex

[Charlie Self]

You found no reference to the tools on the IR site, so you don't doubt IR is controlling production of the tools?

I see no evidence at all the Ingersoll-Rand has anything to do with these tools, just as you do. But it leads me to believe that some entrepreneurial type is looking to make a buck or six off the latest brand name from China, not that IR is involved.

[bridger]

generic chinese bottom end stuff. you're probably better off buying that kind of equipment from harbor freight. not that the tools will be better, but at least there is somebody there for you to return it to for warranty processing when it explodes....

[AArDvarK]

Well NO SHIT man... that's exactly what I said in my last sentence. Take a look. But it also means IR COULD be doing it, just not saying anything about it. I think some bigger companies do that.

Remember? "It don't tell nuthin' "

[Unisaw A100]

Oh man! How thick do you have to be?

Listen up.

China, is found on a map.

Maps, are made by Rand McNally.

Are you there yet?

Seems to me you're sniffing the wrong crotch if you think Ingersol Rand has any controlling interest in Rand wooddorking machines when it's as plan as the face behind your nose who is really pulling the strings over there.

[AArDvarK]

... then I am rich. richy-rich indeed. Why not you ask IR and tell the group? I don't feel like typing them an email, I do enough typing in this group and your sarcasm is undesirable to me. you prove absolutely nothing, especially in your understanding of the possibility of giant corporate business doings. What it takes is the genuine understanding of the size in population of the USA alone, over 270 million people and there is no reason IR would not be doing it considering massive financial resourses unless they they simply ...

"aren't"

are YOU there yet?
