Stanley Works to Buy Black & Decker

[Red Green]

Just an FYI if you haven't heard already.

So I guess Stanly gets all this now?

The Black & Decker Corporation markets its name under various brands:

• DeWalt Power Tools * Porter Cable * Delta Machinery * Kwikset * Baldwin * Weiser Lock * Price Pfister * Emhart Teknologies * Oldham Blades * Black and Decker Firestorm

This is not a good thing for the consumer, it should have been stopped.

I have heard that there will have to be regulatory approval but that it is not likely to be a problem because the product lines do not overlap: Stanley makes few -- if any -- power tools, and B&D makes few -- if any

-- hand tools.

They'll all be made in China anyway -- probably are already.
