I don't know. What I read was B&D hired the top 3 electrical engineers from Dewalt. B&D then gave autonomy to design and develop all of the different battery operated yard products.
I just checked. Problem. Made in China. No reason this can't be manufactured in the US.
Funny. When I pick something up that is made in China now, I can't think of anything but disease and need to wash my hands.
I'm game for products made in the USA. I have the B&D 10" 20Volt chainsaw. Am looking for a 12" now. Shame. The 10" worked great for clearing a dropped tree and cutting smaller diameter firewood. It was the first chainsaw that didn't leave an oil mess after use or in storage.

I’m not a nuke China, they’re evil bandwagon person. If you look at the minority shareholder for a lot of the Eagle Ford Shale oil companies in TX, it is China. They have a lot of money invested in US Businesses.
I figure we need China, and China needs us. The tablet I am using to type this, an RCA, is from China. The clothes I’m wearing are from Vietnam, Pakistan, and China. My tennies are from China. The blanket throw next to me is from Indonesia.(Sigh)
