“At one time, the brand name Black & Decker meant something. Now it means nothing. I suppose Craftsman will go that same route.”
Stanley, Black & Decker and Craftsman used to ALL be quality brands, now they are just purchased names for Chinese crap.
Also in another post someone mentions Kenmore. Kenmore is just another name for Whirlpool-Maytag, etc. Go look up a part for a Kenmore washing machine, and you will find that it fits five or six other “brands” you probably thought were independent, but are all essentially the same machines with different labels built by one company.
If all these brands are crap, are any quality brands left? And if so, their names please.
