Tool manufacturer Stanley Black & Decker is closing its plant in Fort Mill, outside Carowinds park, where it makes DeWalt drills. This will result 192 layoffs.

Stanley B&D has 40 manufacturing facilities in the US. This particular facility assembled Dewalt cordless power tools.

My conclusion is that nobody buying cordless tools cares where they are assembled, despite what they tell you while waving the flag.

There’s a whole separate thread on this that’s a week or two old.

As long as they don't shut down the MAC or PROTO USA factories, I'm good.

***** to see a US based plant close but they could transfer the work load to another of their plants. But in reality will it really matter? I mean its not like they carry a longer warranty on the US stuff do they?
