DeWalt tools

DeWalt has begun to make hand tools. Since Stanley bought the company I guess a good move. From reliable source very good quality. Any retail sighting please let me know.

I'm going to guess rebadged Taiwan stuff.

Get your bids in now!

Lowes gets Bostich and the depot gets Dewalt on their new stanley made stuff. Both lines apper to be of decent quality for the most part.

They should stick to what they are good at powertools.

Ill take that bet...i say china...and they come with a coffee thermos!

Only reason I say Taiwan is I bet Stanley will make this brand their "high end" retail tool brand given Dewalt's semi-positive image. One would hope that they would choose the US to manufacture these tools, but alas it is not April 1st, so that's why I chose Taiwan.

It is not a Stanley brand per say. It is a Home depot line made by Stanley to what Home depot specs. More or less the same as Danaher making the Kobalt line for lowes.

Kind of redundant with Husky around, though they've kind of ruined that brand, so I guess it's time to start on another.

It's not surprising that Stanley would get into this game after Milwaukee decided to start making hand tools (Taiwan/China, too). Have to keep up with the competition...

More of the same... Unfortunately.

Okay I was hoping for Proto quality under new name. I will do some more research....

I spotted the DeWalt hand tools at HD yesterday...all made in China. Did not look like anything special to me.

I was in HD yesterday and saw their end cap of DeWalt hammers, tapes and what not. I noticed how much their 25' Dewalt tape looked like my Bostitch 25' tape I purchased at Lowes. I would immediately say that the Bostitch tape feels much heavier, and the DeWalt tape just felt cheaper to me. I really don't care for how they made the lock on it so big.

I could certainly see Stanley and DeWalt teaming up to replace a lot of Husky with a DeWalt/ Stanley line. It's a shame to say but the Husky line has really been run into the ground. Every time I walk into the HD tool department, I see more and more gimmicky tools with Husky's name all over them.

Stanley owns Bostitch also...

 

[Shipfittin]

Yes they do (that's why it's Stanley Bostitch), it's sometimes hard to find a product in a tool department not actually owned by Stanley in one way or the other.

WOW!

$59.99 for a hammer made in Mexico (I checked the COO on the package)

That is roughly DOUBLE the price of Eswting at Home Depot!
