Every time I turn around I hear that B&D now controls another company. I have not been a fan of B&D for many years now. I, like most woodworkers, am constantly looking for more toys, aka tools. I do not wish to buy anything that B&D has their finger in.
Recently I needed a part for my DeVilbiss compressor, I called my local small engine/compressor repair shop and was informed the it would probably take from 6 to 8 weeks to get the part. Inquiring as to why it would take so long I was informed that they had been having long lead times for parts on any tool that B&D had acquired.
I am currently looking for a 14" band saw, I had decided that the Jet, Delta or Grizzly would suit my needs, but I guess Delta is out of the question now.
Where can I find a list of companies that B&D has acquired or is in the process of acquiring?
Thanks, Bilbo
