chevron north america power tools brands

Delivering the power of gas/petrol without the noise, fuss and fumes, EGO outdoor power equipment revolutionized the outdoor power equipment industry and continues to deliver innovative solutions for our markets in North America, Europe and Australia. Products including riding mower, lawn mowers and handheld products, such as our hedge trimmers, chainsaws and blowers.

Have you heard of Chervon?  No, not Chevron, the gas company, Chervon the tool company?  My guess is probably not.  I have to admit, while I had heard of them in the past, I really didn’t know much about them.  Yes, Chervon is a power tool manufacturing company, but there is so much more to them.  We had a chance to visit one of their manufacturing facilities in China last year and ended up learning a ton about them, so I just wanted to share this with you so if you see certain brands around, you will have a little more background about them.  As an FYI, while they did pay for our trip, they didn’t pay us to write an article.  In fact, when they offered for us to visit them, they said they really didn’t care if we covered them at all.  The trip was just so we are more familiar with them. So I figured why should I have all the knowledge, so I decided to write up a quick article and share with you also.

Peter took the time to speak with us and tell us his story.  While the point of this article is to inform you of Chervon, I also want to talk a little bit about his background.  He grew up poor in China.  As with our society, you pretty much stay in the social class you are born in. Peter wanted something different, so that’s when he decided to attend a university and do something more.  After college he started the business from two hotel rooms with two other people and today has created a global brand called Chervon.  For him, it wasn’t business as usual.  It wasn’t about just creating a product, it was about creating a quality product.  He did things that were unheard of in China.  In the past, it was just about having machines running and creating products.  Again, he wanted quality products.  He was one of the first to actually create a testing facility to make sure the products were quality. After seeing first hand what they do and how they do it, I can say they have succeeded in creating quality products.  We saw how they test and implement new tools and it’s amazing.

In 2000, they started creating their own brand of tools and in 2014, they introduced a new line of Outdoor Power Equipment called EGO.  EGO has really taken OPE by storm.  They were the first to really produce a battery-powered OPE that performed. While they weren’t the first to market, they were the first that actually gave gas OPE a run for their money.  As I said, quality is very important to them and we saw that first hand.  It was amazing to see all the testing that went into every product.  Not only did they test each individual product after it was assembled, but they would test all the parts that went into making the final product.  It was amazing to see how clean the facilities were and how organized they were. Now I can’t talk about all the brands they work with or design things for, but let me tell you, it’s a ton.

Ever wonder who owns Craftsman tools? How about Milwaukee, Mac Tools, or Skilsaw? It may surprise you to know that only a handful of power tool companies own your favorite tools. That’s right, most tool brands fall under a parent company that also controls additional power tool manufacturers and brands. We break it down for you…with charts!

Stanley Black & Decker (SBD) turned heads when it bought Craftsman Tools in 2017 after Sears closed 235 stores in 2015. The company owns many brands, however. Dating back to 1843 with a man named Frederick Stanley, the company quickly formed its roots. In 2010, it merged with another company that started in 1910—Black and Decker. As of 2017, the company maintains a $7.5 billion business in tools & storage alone. SBD brands include:

As it turns out, TTI owns Milwaukee Tool and a host of other power tool companies. It also licenses the RIDGID* and RYOBI names for cordless power tools (Emerson owns RIDGID). TTI stands for Techtronic Industries Company Limited (TTI Group). Founded in 1985 in Hong Kong, TTI sells tools all over the world and employs over 22,000 people. TTI is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and had worldwide annual sales of over US$6 billion in 2017. Their brands include:

Not anymore. In 2017, Chervon acquired Skil Power Tool Brands from Bosch. This added two big brands to their portfolio: Skilsaw and Skil. Chervon started its power tools business unit back in 1993, launching the EGO brand of cordless outdoor power equipment in 2013. In 2018, the company rebranded Skil (including the logo) and announced new 12V and 20V cordless power tools. Today, Chervon tools and products are sold by more than 30,000 stores in 65 countries. Chervon manufactures the following brands:

First off, Bosch Tools only represents part of the Bosch Group which includes Robert Bosch GmbH and over 350 subsidiaries across 60+ countries. In 2003 Robert Bosch GmbH combined its North American power tool and power tool accessory divisions into one organization, forming Robert Bosch Tool Corporation in North America. The company designs, manufactures, and sells power tools, rotary and oscillating tools, power tool accessories, laser and optical leveling devices, and range finding tools all over the globe. Bosch also manufactures the following tools:

Husqvarna Group manufactures chainsaws, trimmers, robotic lawn mowers, and ride-on lawnmowers. The Group also makes garden watering products as well as cutting equipment and diamond tools for the construction and stone industries. They have a presence in more than 100 countries and employ over 13,000 people in 40 countries. Husqvarna Group also owns the following tools:

JPW owns several large brands including Jet, Powermatic, and Wilton. The company has its headquarters in La Vergne, Tennessee but also has operations in Switzerland, Germany, Russia, France, Taiwan, and China. They sell products in 20 countries throughout the world. Their tool brands include:

Apex Tool Group has its headquarters in Sparks, Maryland, USA and employs more than 8,000 workers. They operate in more than 30 countries throughout North and South America, Europe, Australia, and Asia. Annual revenues exceed $1.4 billion on the sale of hand tools, power tools, and electronics tools for the industrial, automotive, aerospace, and construction/DIY markets. The following tool manufacturers belong to APEX Tool Group:

Headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri (USA), Emerson controls power tool manufacturers and products in the industrial, commercial, and residential markets. While TTI licenses the RIDGID name for power tools, Emerson controls the following tools (among others):

Based in Wendlingen, Germany, TTS or Tooltechnic Systems owns Festool (electric and pneumatic tools), Tanos (not to be confused with the guy who destroyed half the universe), Narex, Sawstop, and now Shaper Tools. TTS is truly behind the scenes as it doesn’t really have appear to have its own website (at least not in the US) or an official logo. In bullet point format, its subsidiaries include:

Yamabiko Corporation started in 2008 and has three core business segments: outdoor power equipment, agricultural machinery, and industrial machinery. Based in Japan, Yamabiko is a global company with major markets in Japan and North America, and a growing presence in Europe and Asia. Tool brands include:

Founded over 100 years ago, ITW manufactures specialized industrial equipment, power tools, hand tools, and consumables. ITW operates in 57 countries with over 50,000 employees. They also have more than 17,000 granted and pending patents. ITW brands include:

Who makes Harbor Freight Power Tools remains a mystery—possibly because they may have switched suppliers in the past. Some have suggested LuTool, a company established in June 1999 supplies their power tools. LuTool has headquarters in Ningbo, China, and a North American office in Ontario, Canada. LuTool is owned by Gemay (Ningbo Gemay Industry Co Ltd) which also has its headquarters in Ningbo, China.

Not to be outdone, others have suggested Powerplus as the manufacturer behind the Drill Master, Warrior, Bauer, and Hercules lines of tools. Powerplus is a division of European company Varo with headquarters in Belgium.

Hilti and Makita are just Hilti and Makita. Hilti doesn’t have any subsidiary companies underneath them or a parent company over them. Makita, on the other hand, did acquire the Dolmar brand, bolstering its already-impressive line of outdoor power equipment tools. It’s pretty impressive the market share each of these companies enjoys!

We can’t leave out the popular house brands available at those big-box retailers and home improvement warehouses. Note that many (if not all) of the brands below represent ODM or OEM solutions. That means the tools get specified by the store but executed by another manufacturer. In other scenarios, tools are “offered” to a retailer and then manufactured in bulk upon acceptance of a buyer’s order.

While you may have thought you knew who owned all those power tool manufacturers, consolidation has changed the playing field. By far, Stanley Black & Decker demonstrates the largest buyout pattern. Companies like TTI, Apex Tool Group, ITW, and others also enjoy adding to their numbers.

“Providing superior products to users worldwide through continuous innovation, we are determined to become a global leader in power tools and outdoor power equipment in the lithium-ion, intelligent and digital era.”

Today, Chervon owns several tool well-known tool brands in North America, including Flex, EGO, and Skil/Skilsaw. They also manufacture power tools for other brands.

Flex tools with the red color scheme are the same brand and have been well-known in the automotive industry, in particular. It made its first appearance in 1922 in Germany—100 years ago as we’re writing this! Among its many innovations, Flex developed the world’s first handheld grinder with a flexible shaft back in 1954.

Just in the past two years, we’ve seen Flex redefine the limits of core tools, such as the hammer drill. We’ve seen the development of Stacked Lithium pouch cell batteries in higher capacity batteries than anyone has. With each new launch, we consistently see technology, innovation, and design that attacks specific pain points or limits contractors find with other tools.

At Chervon, we are developing better tools for a better world. Professionals and homeowners rely on our products to get the job done. Through our brands such as FLEX, EGO, SKIL, and KOBALT, we design and manufacture a wide range of power tools and outdoor power equipment. We are a fast-growing company that is constantly expanding our portfolio and aim to be one of the top 5 manufacturers of power tools in the world.

We are constantly looking for ways to innovate and improve. We know that closely understanding our users is the best way to develop products that deliver true solutions. Through user research, we strive to better understand what our users need to produce the next generation of power tool products.

To support our growing team and enhance our capabilities in user-focused design, we are looking for an experienced User Experience Researcher with great communication and people skills to drive user research of our power tool products. You will speak with our customers, generate insights, and give direct input to the product development teams. Working alongside product managers, industrial designers, and engineers, you will drive the user research activities that ultimately lead to new and improved products in the marketplace. Due to the nature of collaboration with team members on a regular basis, this role is located in Naperville, IL. This is an active role that spends a lot of time away from the desk, getting out there to use power tools and speak with users.

Develop hands-on expertise in the power tool product space by using and studying our products, competitor products, market trends, and primary research

“SKIL did a great job with [the 10" Dual Bevel Sliding Miter Saw]. I love how smooth it operates, the power of the motor, and the capacity it offers.”

A Chinese power tool manufacturer is moving its North American headquarters to Naperville from Michigan, taking over an empty new building developed for a Swedish manufacturer.

The company plans to bring more than 200 jobs over the next three years. It will relocate 75 workers from Grand Rapids and the Chicago suburbs of South Barrington and Geneva. Also moving there will be 37 employees who were added when Chervon completed its acquisition of Mount Prospect-based Robert Bosch Tools’ Skil and Skilsaw brands on January 1. The company also plans to hire 25 new workers this year and another 75 over the next three years.

Chervon makes power tools such as saws and drills, many of which are battery powered, with brand names including Ego and Hammerhead. It also makes outdoor equipment such as lawn mowers, blowers, trimmers and chain saws. Last year, Chervon bought the Skil tool brand from Mount Prospect-based Robert Bosch Tool.

The only affiliation between GE and Hitachi that I am aware of is their joint nuclear energy business. Hitachi power tools are not – to my knowledge – connected to GE in any way.

The lines are so blurred it’s hard to tell. Williams is a Snap-on Industrial brand. Even if certain tools appear similar, there might be small nuances that differentiate the Snap-on tools from Williams ones.

OEM and private label tools is tough to follow as well, as contracts and arrangements change every now and then. Right now, I have no clue as to who else Williams manufacturers tools for outside the Snap-on corporate family.

Williams is much better than bluepoint. A lot of Williams tools are US made, a lot of bluepoint tools are not. And besides, most bluepoint stuff is rebranded anyway.

Danaher is making Craftsman tools now, Danaher started making them in China, Its interesting to know Danaher is owned by Bain capitol which was founded an owned by Mitt Romney, no wonder Craftsman tools are being made in China, Romney absolutely hates American workers!, after finding this out I will never buy another Craftsman tool, I would rather overpay for SK, or Snap On than buy a piece of shit Chinese made Craftsman tool!!!!

Whilst Mitt Romney was a co founder of Bain Capital though his being a partner in the Bain and Company consulting firm, he was also a co owner, not THE owner. In any event he apparently retired as CEO of the firm in 2002, at which time Bain Capital also retired the position of CEO. Since that time Mr Romney has had nothing to do with Bain Capital’s management or with what acquisitions it has made. Sorry if you don’t like Mitt Romney, or believe that he hates American workers, because he had nothing to do with Danaher, Craftsmen tools being farmed out to China, or even Bain Capital purchasing the Apex Tool Group from Cooper Tools and Danaher.

Boy, you got that all wrong. Danaher never made anything in China. Danaher and Cooper group spun off their tool divisions to form Apex . They sold Apex to Bain Capital that has been closing tool divisions like Armstrong, Allen and KD and making tools in Taiwan. Mitt Romney has had nothing to do with Bain for many years so your attempt to tie him to the current situation is just you political viewpoint.

Regardless of when, from whom, or where these acquisitions and transfers took place, the story is fundamentally the same. These corporate conglomerates are nothing more than profit drones – machines in their own right. “They” have no concern for quality, American workers (or any workers for that matter), or the consumers who buy their tools.

Long gone is the norm of companies who took pride in the tools they produced, whose principle concerns were quality and reputation while making enough of a profit to keep the business going, i.e., companies who took satisfaction in creating something of real and lasting value. Sounds quaint doesn’t it?

So where’s the list of people like Thomas Lie-Nielsen of Lie-Nielsen Toolworks who created and carefully built a company based on the principles of quality and reputation, and whose success is one of the rare bright spots in an otherwise dismal industry? Yes, it would be a very short list of a few rare individuals, but it would be nice to provide some recognition for these folks who are not hell bent on destroying everything they touch for the sake of their personal wealth and power.

I can’t praise individuals I haven’t met and don’t know much about. I don’t have experience with Lie-Nielsen tools, although I am quite aware of their reputation.

Other than Bosch (Germany) and TTI, all of the companies are headquarted in the US. It still burns me that TTI is a Chinese owned company and it produces Milwaukee tools. Not knocking their products, they make nice stuff, I just have a hard time seeing the profits go back to China too.

Cleveland, Bassett, Chicago-Latrobe, Cli-Line, Putnam Tools, and Vermont Tap & Die are part of Greenfield Industries, which is owned by Dalian Far East Tools, which is based in China.

It is not the Liberal government that is making all the regulations–many have been instituted under republican admins as well—It has to do with “not in my back yard” mentality. Every one wants energy independence and manufacturing jobs–but not in my backyard–don’t spoil my view. Ps, while I am fine with paying more for my American made tools, to ensure domestic workers have decent wages and conditions the rest of the Wal-mart connoisseurs are only about the cheap price with no regard to the fact their neighbor lost his job and now his kids qualify for free lunch at school because they refuse to look for the USA label.

The same way I would not underestimate Taiwan and Korea as industial powers. Some of the biggest brands in cell phones and computers and parts are from Taiwan. Just to mention a few – Asus, HTC, Acer.

Taiwan is very strong on tools, and I feel most on the tool inovations of the last decades came from there, such as the ratcheting wrench. In fact, the Gearwrench brand is owned by a Taiwaneese company (Lea way), now owned by the Apex group.

Not to mention the fact that TTI is also producing power tools for Ridgid under a negotiated contract. They are probably making those tools overseas to. It is unclear exactly what tools TTI is manufacturing for Ridgid? If anyone knows I would like to know.

TTI designs and manufacturers Ridgid power tools under a licensing agreement with Emerson (Ridgid’s parent company), exclusively for The Home Depot. TTI is the OEM for a lot of Ridgid power tools, but does not own the brand.

From the photos I’ve seen, many Ridgid tools are simply relabeled AEG in other parts of the world. So its not so much that there are two lines of tools, but rather two name plate stamps at the factory.

I would say its the opposite – TTI has the global brand AEG. In the USA they sell AEG tools under Home Depot’s private label Ridgid (Which, as mentioned above, is actually owned by Emerson, and made its name making plumber tools).

TTI develops and produces Ridgid tools and some Craftsman power tools. Chervon also produces certain Craftsman power tools, and Black & Decker produces the Craftsman Matrix modular power tools.

Craftsman’s hand tools come from EVERYWHERE. Apex Tool Group makes a lot of their mechanics tools, Vaughan makes some of their hammers, Stride used to make some of Craftsman’s wire strippers (and Klein’s as well), Knipex made two Craftsman water pump-style adjustable pliers, Keter makes some of Craftsman’s tool boxes, Waterloo makes a lot of Craftsman’s tool chests and cabinets, Bosch produces some of Craftsman’s power tools (e.g. Dremel-style rotary tools) and accessories, Wilde used to make Craftsman’s pry bars, and Western Forge produces (or used to produce) some of Craftsman’s screwdrivers and pliers.

Good article, now you should make one about where these brands produce their tools so that people aren’t surprised when they find out their products aren’t built here.

Under the Stanley-BD umbrella, the Facom brands are missing – Bost (France), USAG and Pastorino (Italy). Those companies still manufacture many of the global SBD tools – mostly under the FACOM name, but not only – for example, Stanley Fatmax screwdrivers (at least in Europe) are rebadged Bost.

The inconsistencies are not deliberate, but result from discretionary decisions. I refrain from mentioning some of the more esoteric industrial parts brands, but mention ITW’s Tapcon and Red Head brands. I tried to focus on tools, in a semi-strict sense, as much as possible.

Thanks for all the tool listings. It really surprised me to learn of the mother companies of a lot of tools I possess. I had no idea that Ideal owed S*K tools. Which is one of my most favorite brands. I always thought Faacom was affiliated with S*K. Tells you what I know.

A mechanical engineer friend of mine awhile back printed several pages of “Who Owned What Tool Company.” I’m sure it is very inaccurate now due to drastic changes in marketing. On the list it showed that Stanley tools formerly made Craftsman hand tools and this was taken over by Danaher. I was always under the impression that Danaher was still making the hand tools for Sears. It looks like to me that the process was part of the Cooper/Danaher merger that was sold to Bain Capital and made into a new company called Apex. Bain seems like such a dirty four lettered word to me. This company knowingly buys big conglomerate companies and breaks them up into little pieces and spits them out all over the place to maximize their profits. Being involved with Bain is what partly hurt Mitt Romney’s chances of election. I shudder when I hear that Bain is part of an acquisition, especially tools.

Danaher was the primary OEM for Craftsman mechanics tools before Danaher and Cooper joined forces, and then the Apex Tool Group took the arrangement with them. I believe the Apex Tool Group is still the primary OEM for Craftsman mechanics hand tools.

It’s hard to say which is the largest and most profitable tool company in the world, as some of these companies are involved in a lot more industries outside of tools, accessories, and related product categories.

According to data from Stanley Black & Decker, as discussed in a recent post, SBD is the largest and most profitable tool manufacturer in the world, at least in regard to construction and DIYer tools.

Very interesting, a list of companies that actually manufacture the tools for the retailers would be helpful to trace tool quality, and then money savings. In other words a list from the bottom up instead of the top down.

Like RIDGID brand power tools, TTI also makes Ryobi tools for the US market as a licensee. They do not own Ryobi which is a company based in Japan which offers totally different tools.

My understanding is that the Ryobi name is trademarked and used under license by OWT, but the entire Ryobi power tools and accessories business itself is owned by TTI. The arrangement TTI has with Ridgid is a little different.

What are you talking about. Danaher has sold off all of their tool businesses. The current owners are Apex owned by Bain Capital and Fortive. Danaher is now only in the the precision measuring equipment business. Medical or some such. NO TOOLS.

I get asked a lot who own/makes Kobalt Cordless Power tools, my research has produced a company called Chervon… What other brands do they own/make? Also… doesn’t Emerson also make Kobalt corded tools in addition to Rigid’s? Some of the models look identical.

Chervon makes some power tools for Craftsman as well, and certain tools for other brands. They’re an OEM. Chervon also makes HammerHead and EGO tools.

TTI designs, produces, and markets Ridgid power tools for Home Depot, and they also produce certain tools for Craftsman. TTI is also responsible for Ryobi power tools in the USA, North America, and Australia, perhaps in other regions as well.

It is explained in the original post. Ridgid plumbing tools are owned by Emerson Electric. Emerson owns the Ridgid name. They have licensed the name to TTI to make the Ridgid power tools sold exclusively by HD. Notice the orange and gray HD colors on the Ridgid power tools. Ridgid plumbing tools are red.

I’m just curious about Freud tools. I know Bosch owns the power tool accessory part of Freud (bits and blades etc.), but who owns the rest of Freud, e.g. the power tool part? Assuming that part is still in operation. I can’t find any info on the Freud site about any of their power tools, only their accessories.

Also, there is another line of professional tools that most people don’t know about in the US, or at least they aren’t that popular, but they do have some serious tools. It is Festool.

They are available from Woodcraft and made in Germany They are serious tools at even more serious prices. Their “domino”joiner has attracted a lot of attention. But $500 to $700 is more than most can spend on a hand power tool.

I believe Frued power tool division is or was still owned by the family that started it if my memory is right after they sold the accessories division. It’s been six years since I worked for BOSCH. Just so everyone knows. Bosch power tools North America has a cooperate office in Mt Prospect IL. It is huge and employs a lot of people. Also Bosch is privately owned and is owned in majority by a charity and others including the Bosch family. Robert Bosch was an inventor and invented a lot things. He worked in a Thomas Edison factory at one point.

I really appreciate the fine work you have done here. With your permission I would like to link your info here in my Blog about Aircraft Mechanics hand tools https://avtool.wordpress.com/ .

I wrote 52 bad reviews just on amazon warning folks to keep usa, not exchange but order kit repair their self, its easy. Amazon removed all but 4 a week later and stated I bent a rule? So I filed bbb complaint on Sears,Amazon,Menards, anyone else google sent me too selling crapsman tools for false advertising walk in warranty & all had made in USA on websites. They bent rules too…lol

Salesman told me that day Kmart/Sears built a huge manufacturing plant in china a few yrs back and been making craftsman engines & tools. They are junk & get returned daily! They still make money because of cost to make vs selling price, if they give you 100 returns they’re still ahead. Before then you’ll quit and buy another brand. Great company today. Sorry so long, Im almost over it as you can tell…lol

Husky THD950L tile saws are made by Chervon. Apparently according to Home Depots technical assistance line they are making quite a few Husky power tools for Home Depot.

That is a very nice article~! My company is in translation business for many tools companies and at the first it was difficult to get to the right person in this industry with our services, as almost all the companies are not independent!

Congratulations on this Herculean task – well done sir!! I have been interested in this topic for years. By virtue of our last name I had a special interest in HK Porter tools. My grandfather claimed a long lost relative had invented the double-action jaws of bolt cutters, but sold the patent for a pittance. He said if we ever came across those tools with the “HKP” initials molded into the handles we should hang on to them – I have collected 4 antique examples, I wrote to the company asking if they had a company historian who might fill me in on the company’s past. Below is what I received. BTW my genealogical research never turned up any links to that Henry K Porter. It’s also confusing that there was also another Henry K Porter with his own company in those days – they became the 3rd largest manufacturer of locomotives in the US. I’ve never found a link between those two Henrys or companies.

1900 to 1940 – As the horse and buggy gave way to motor power, “bolt cutters” were adapted to many new, modern cutting applications. New cutters were constantly being designed and refined to keep pace with all the new materials to be cut as industry expanded.

1950 to 1980 – During this period, H.K. Porter expanded its product lines to include ratchet, pneumatic and hydraulic cutting tools. Specialized tools were designed for every conceivable application; such as special equipment to help Astronaut Charles Conrad and Alan Bean salvage Surveyor III during their 1969 moon walk.

1988 – The H.K. Porter operation was relocated to the Wiss facility in Statesboro, GA. The H.K. Porter/Wiss/Plumb plant is one of the largest manufacturers of hand held cutting tools in the world.

Who Owns Chicago Electric Tools? I need assistance with a problem with Chicago Electric Tools parts and can not get assistance from Harbor Freight where I originally purchased the tools. Any help, any ideas.

Makita being one of the few independents. It has one of the largest ranges of cordless equipment and continues to add more products to their range faster than any other manufacturer. I have watched them continually add more brushless cordless tools and 36v (2x18V) cordless tools. They have one of the fastest chargers on the market.

Hi there. i’m a new auto body apprentice. I am looking for a socket set for my work. I wonder which of these tools are useful and last longer (Stanley socket set, mastercraft, or maximum)

I have 3 horizontal saws and one vertical saw in my machine shop, and used Lenox blades for a number of years because they outperformed other brands by a noticeable margin. Shortly after the acquisition by Rubbermaid, the quality deteriorated to a level approximately equal to that of Irwin which has always been a producer of hardware store quality cutting tools as opposed to the true industrial quality of Lenox.

As we might expect, the quality went down but the price continued to climb. Given the good quality level of SBD brands like DeWalt and Bostich, its obvious SBD management knows you have to produce a quality product to command a premium price from people who make their living with tools. Rubbermaid obviously doesn’t understand this.

“Our company is Michigan Industrial tools. M.I.T. offers the brands TEKTON, Maxcraft, Workshop, and we currently are a licensee of Goodyear air hose and reels.”

Working at a Woodshop for the several past years that have different brands of tools such as Delta, Porter Cable, Dewalt, Jet, Craftsman, Grizzly, Hitachi and some of that No-Name Chinese garbage, I found out an interesting thing. Many companies have and use the EXACT SAME PARTS on their machines, they only have different part numbers…….sometimes. Sometimes the part numbers are exactly the same as they don’t add any of their own numbers on to the Part Manufacturer’s Numbers.

Look at it this way. If you wanted to design and make your own line of Woodworking tools, you would not be making your own parts, for the most part, you would be purchasing them from an existing parts manufacturer. They have standard parts they make and sell to several different manufacturers. Some are proprietary and can only be sold to that company, but for the most part, to have that, it costs a lot of money so most parts are and can be interchanged. Take a Bandsaw wheel for example. There are only a few different sizes made, i.e. the reason most companies sell the same Bandsaw sizes. So you would pick from the sizes that company is already making, most likely for someone else. Bandsaws really only have two types of designs, the “Box” look and the “Half-Round” look. Take a look at how closely a Jet Bandsaw looks to a Grizzly. I am betting they are getting most of their parts from the same exact manufacturer. Delta may be as well.

My automotive tools are all SK. Very pricey, very good quality. But even then….I wonder how much has changed with them since I acquired alot of this stuff in the 1970’s.

Right now APEX is still mfg. Craftsman tools but that is coming to an end as their contract turns it over to Stanley Black & Decker, and from what I understand SBD is going to be building a factory in the US to mfg. Craftsman.

Danaher is still involved with tools as they still own MATCO. Much of the COBALT brand (Lowes) is made by JS Products out of Las Vegas, they also own Steelman. That may be coming to an end as Lowes will take on Craftsman tools as soon as the dust is settled.

Before I went into the Army, I was an appliance service man at sears in 1966-1967 and I still have many of my craftsman hand tools over 50 years old and still function as they did 50 years go.

Not sure about Wen and cobalt power but cobalt hand tools at this time are made by (imported) JS Products out of Las Vegas this will most likely change when Lowes takes on Craftsman Tools made by Stanley Black & Decker

Stuart, Matco stayed with the Fortive portion of the Danaher breakout. To answer some of the other questions: Prior to Apex the majority of Craftsman tools were built in USA. Places like Dallas, North Carolina, Arkansas.

Your project sounds like a very interesting one, but I am not envious of the challenges you face. Mapping the supply chain for a more complex multi-component product, such as a cordless power tool for instance, would be quite the endeavor.

There are private label brands as well – Husky for Home Depot, Kobalt for Lowes. Also, exclusivity arrangements. You cannot find Hitachi tools at Home Depot, or Milwaukee tools at Lowes. Home Depot has Klein, Lowes now has Southwire.

I’m wondering if anyone knows who manufactures the cordless battery-powered tools for professional mechanics tool lines, specifically the Snap-On, MATCO and MAC brands?

Anyone here remember SeberTech multi tools. I.e. the M4SeberTech USA tool or even the Craftsman 45505 during the 1990’s? Sure Leatherman came out in the late 1980’s, but this was truly a mini multi tool that was made in California and the M4 was the only mini multi tool back then that had a locking blade and tools you could access from the outside.

Well they were acquired by IDL Tools sometime before 2007 and IDL moved all production to China. RocWizard was introduced in 2007, Home Depot and Ace carried this for a while. From what I’ve gathered, Stanley Black and Decker bought IDL tools a while ago.

Wright hand tools is the last remaining 100% independent non multi national , excluding Cougar Pro, 100% American manufacturer for sockets, ratchets and potentially even ratchet left.

Folks let that sink in. There isn’t ANY independent USA manufacturer for power tools of any kind anymore and only Stanley Black Decker with their Dewalt/Craftsman line produces either a USA assembled and or with some unknown percentage of USA made parts.

I have all the tools I can use in 2 lifetimes, and I’m perfectly happy with what I have. The worst thing I have to worry about is my battery packs fading. All my packs fit a ubiquitous brand, and I will always be able to find them anywhere for cheap.

Thank you for all the tough work. I’m seeing Tacklife tools pop up more and more often. I haven’t seen you do a review of any and from their low price I’m guessing they are not the best available. Does anyone have experience with Tacklife tools? Thank you.

Dewalt air compressors, air tools, and air compressor accessories like hoses are versions of other companies’ products. Compressors seem to be a mix of companies under Stanley Black and Decker like Porter-Cable and Emglo an air hose and accessories come from a variety of sources like Sanborn Manufacturing.

Generally, Dewalt power tools are top tier but they’ve really spread out and some lines like their air compressors are no the best on the market. Dewalt has one of the broadest lines outpacing Milwaukee but a lot of it’s just upgraded Stanley Black and Decker or contract manufactured once you get away from the core power tools.

Given Harbor Freight’s growth in the last years, and the extension of their brand collection, that might not be a bad list of brands to add, even if they all are sold through their own outlet. I don’t know how or whether they manufacture their own tools (I assume not)

Furthermore, one might argue that some of the HF brand names were picked out of that hat with an aim to convey a marketing message that would obfuscate their origins – or even possibly deceive some unwitting buyers. Such names like :Chicago Electric or Pittsburgh – to convey some USA heritage or Bauer – to possibly suggest some Germanic woodworker origin? If I’m off-base in this – please excuse my cynicism. I do think that some of the more recent HF brand names – like Hercules may represent a departure away from fictitious naming practices – and hopefully represents a change at HF to sell tools that appeal based on their price and performance rather than on US or German sounding brand names.

I thing HF came into being to make decent tools affordable to everyone. Yes, they do make some throwaways for city dwellers that need to fix something once, then give the tools away of trash them.

Their suppliers (contractors) are quite capable of making superior tools that hang with the best, but they would be so expensive they wouldn’t sell many at HF. For example, their Mother’s wax and Goodyear air hose is just as expensive as the big box stores.

Einhell is produced at the same place where Parkside is produced – at Positec. That’s because on Parkside tools it’s said that they are produced by Grizzly Industries, which is Positec.

Kango Tools are a TTI big box store brand popular in New Zealand and Australia. Trade quality, with a focus on SDS/masonry. The multi purpose bits are amazing.

Where is Kobalt? I realize that they are mostly in China, but they seem to be Lowe’s Ryobi (HomeDepot). I have reviewed their 40v leafblower, 40v hedge trimmer, and 40v chainsaw, all of which are surprisingly powerful and durable enough for DIY/home use.

Hello! I am wondering if anyone out there might know who made a Air framing nailer with the name RAM TOOLS on it? I have my parts catalog and know the part I need but the website is no longer active nor is the phone number? I believe I bought this about 15 years ago or more and have never had a problem with it.I’ve been looking online trying to see what brands have a similar build.Maybe Campbell Hausfeld or Husky but I can’t be sure. Any help would be great! Thanks!

Klein Tools is independently owned. They have a couple of subsidiaries, such as Ergodyne. Some Klein tools are made in the USA, others are imported from various countries.

When you are buying power tools, it makes sense to choose a brand and stick with them. You do not have to worry about different types of batteries, different ways of doing things, and all the other hassles that come into play when you mix and match tools.

Before we jump into listing the best brands, I want to point out that the brand order is not ranked. The reality is that there is no one size that fits all. No one brand contains all of the best power tools, so what you find amazing in one brand, your neighbor is going to find in another.

The power tool industry is big and complex. One brand might make the best drill while the other might make the best jigsaw. Also, the power tool lineup within each brand can get very granular, because most brands want to cover the widest market possible.

I did some major renovations in and around the house recently, so I had plenty of opportunities to talk with various contractors about the tools of their trade.

The homeowners I talked to are my DIY friends and neighbors. I’ve heard them say that they’ve either inherited their tools, bought them on sale, or they did thorough research before buying them.

But, generally speaking, each brand on this list has at least 2 years of wear and tear coverage on their tools. If you want to get deeper, I have included a link to each brand’s website, where you can also find their warranty pages.

As for websites, there isn’t much research available, but there is one that stands out. It has recent research conducted by Lifestory Research on the most trusted power tool brands in America.

You may find tools aimed at homeowners being used on worksites, and vice-versa. Some companies create high-quality tools in both markets, while some fall short and others create amazing one-offs.

The tool market is competitive, with new companies entering the market all the time, but our recommended brands have risen to the top with years of experience, high-quality tools, and expert customer service.

Now, they offer construction tools, outdoor equipment, and more. They have amassed a large line of cordless tools, leading the way with a cordless revolution.

They also have corded, gas-powered, and multiple battery-powered tools. Their One-Key platform allows them to manage compatibility and maintenance across all of their battery-powered tools.

They make some of the best tools for electricians, HVAC technicians, and automotive workers. They are popular with professional contractors, and suitable for the most rugged and tough jobs.

A well-known brand that was established in 1915, but was not recognizable as the power-tool company that we know today until 1958. First came the planer, then drills, followed by everything else.

You will find Makita tools on construction sites and in workshops around the world. Their power tools are solid, and they also offer yard equipment and a range of pneumatic tools.

They even make a cordless coffee maker that you can use on job sites. And if you want your tools to be powerful and stylish, you can reach for the LXT sub-compact brushless series.

Once based in Japan, the tools are now manufactured all around the world without any drop in quality. A favorite on job sites, their power tools are complemented by extra convenience equipment such as fans and radios.

Raymond E. DeWalt invented the radial arm saw in 1923. The result of that is the multinational company that is around today. They are one of the original power tool manufacturers.

The success led to the acquisition of the company by Black & Decker in 1960, though there was a bleak period for a few decades as people saw Black & Decker as an amateur power tool company.

DeWalt manufactures hundreds of different power tools, with corded and cordless options. When they took over ELU, they began manufacturing German woodworking tools too.

The combination of hand tools and power tools became popular with contractors, and their reputation has grown. They have a wide variety of tools, accessories, stands, tool boxes, yard equipment, job site aids, and more. Some say that they have the best carpentry and concrete tools on the market.

When it comes to batteries, they have a range. The company manufactures the standard 12V and 18V batteries for compact tools, along with 20V and 40V batteries for outdoor equipment.

However, where they stand apart from the competition is with their FLEXVOLT technology. Depending on what tool the FLEXVOLT battery is attached to, it will switch between 20V and 60V, powering almost anything. Very cool!

Festool market themselves on quality. Their tools may cost you a little more than the competition, but you are paying for excellence. The engineering of the tools is incredible, they provide superior customer service, and they pride themselves on ease of use and portability.

The dust collection system alone is worth buying the tools that generate a lot of dust, such as sanders and routers. This makes the brand especially popular with contractors and carpenters. The dust-collection system is integrated into the needed tools, and it gives professionals the confidence to go into people’s homes and not leave a mess.

The German company builds tools that are worth the money. If you need to do a professional job, or you have a lot of jobs to attend to, then the tools should be one of your top choices.

You would expect a tool company to stand out based on the quality of their tools but, while Bosch does make excellent tools, that is overshadowed by the fact that they are 90% owned by a charitable organization, Robert Bosch Stiftung. They are a company that cares.

That technology does come at a price. Bosch tools are usually more expensive than their rivals, but you are paying for the extra quality. They are a favorite among serious amateurs, semi-pros, and professionals. If you need to do the job well, Bosch will help you.

They have a range of tools that not many other companies can compete with, and their tools are used for heavy-duty jobs, such as skyscraper construction and bridge repair.

They also pride themselves on aftercare. They support their customers with excellent customer service, solutions, and accessories. Their large sales force is also available to visit job sites to aid in problem-solving and to deliver tools and accessories as quickly as possible.

If you check with any handyman or contractor, you will likely find that they use Ridgid tools on their job sites. Their line of power tools may be limited, but they are still worth mentioning. They mainly produce drills, impact drivers, and saws.

Their limited range of power tools does mean that they do not have as advanced battery technology as other companies, but they compensate for that by offering one of the best warranties on the market.

As we mentioned before, a lengthy warranty often means complete trust in the tools, and tools that are built to last. This is the case with Ridgid. They may not have the biggest line of tools, but they do guarantee quality.

The following brands are largely focused on hobbyists, homeowners, and semi-pros, but sometimes you’ll see these power tools used by professionals as well.

The Ryobi company is owned by Techtronic Industries, just like Milwaukee. You could see the two power tool manufacturers as two arms of the same company, Milwaukee servicing professionals and contractors and Ryobi focusing more on homeowners and semi-professionals.

They have a variety of tools, but you may be most familiar with one of them, even if you do not know that it is a Craftsman tool. Everyone knows the Weedwhacker brand, and these string trimmers are used by a lot of people. Craftsman owns the Weedwhacker brand, along with manufacturing many other gas-powered, battery-powered, and corded outdoor and yard equipment.

They also pride themselves on their Versa System, a system for organizing tools, equipment, and accessories within a workshop. With this system, they are firmly marketing themselves towards hobbyists and homeowners.

Almost everyone knows Black+Decker. Founded in 1910, the company produces power tools for professionals and amateurs. It made its name in 1917 by inventing the portable electric drill and has gone from strength to strength, weathering some storms in its time.

They focus on the most commonly used tools, drills, sanders, and screwdrivers, and put a lot of energy into nailing (excuse the pun) those few select tools.

They do manufacture other tools, and you will find specialized tools in their range. From accessories to hand tools, they manufacture pretty much anything, though their core focus is on the most popular tools.

They are often compared to Ryobi, and have a similar quality, though Ryobi has been in the power tool market for longer and has more tools in its lineup.

Their new XTR lineup of cordless power tools is the most powerful yet. It offers 50% better performance than before and its meant for serious DIY’ers and semi-professionals. It also offers exceptional value for money.

A new company on the scene, they are sold through Walmart, and the power and money that Walmart has to back the tools are phenomenal, allowing them to hit the ground running.

Along with the affordability, you have convenience. As they are sold through Walmart, you can go into any store to find the tools, buy new accessories, or find replacements. And, with Walmarts renowned return policy, there is less risk.

Founded in 1926 in New Orleans, the tool company is now based in Stuttgart after being acquired by the German company Boschin 1996. More recently they have been acquired by Chevron, a Chinese power tool manufacturer.

Skil is the Skil in Skilsaw. The Skilsaw Model 77 was introduced in 1937, and a power-tool company was built around it. Many American houses and buildings were built using the Skilsaw.

Milwaukee power tools are the most searched for brand with 13,500 searches per month. DeWalt (9,900) and Ridgid (7,700) follow closely in second and third place. Ryobi is the go-to brand for many homeowners, which is also apparent from the search volume (5,700). Probably the biggest surprise on the list is Hart (4,000) which is gaining rapidly in popularity.

As expected, Ryobi has a lead over the competition; however, it’s surprising to see how much HART Tools has gained in popularity. They seem to have overtaken long-time and established brands like Kobalt and Skil and are now close behind Craftsman.

There are many power tool companies out there, both for professionals and homeowners. There is a reason why the recognizable names are the ones who have mostly been around for a long time. With years of experience and feedback, they have been able to mold and shape their companies, driving them forward in a competitive industry.

As we said at the beginning, there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to power tool brands, but there is a brand out there that is right for you. All you have to do is choose the one that fits your needs.

Most people have heard of Stanley tools or Black & Decker. While each of these is their own company, they’re under the umbrella company of Stanley Black & Decker. But that’s not all that’s under the Stanley Black & Decker label. Some of the biggest names in tools are owned by this mega-corporation that’s headquartered in New Britain, Connecticut, USA.

DeWalt is one of the tool brands most trusted by professionals across a wide range of industries, and they’re actually a subsidiary of Stanley Black & Decker. Porter-Cable, which is often considered to be some of DeWalt’s most direct competition, is also owned by Stanley Black & Decker. And don’t forget Craftsman; another massive name in tools that’s trusted by professionals in industries like automotive and construction.

Bostitch and MAC Tools are also under the Stanley Black & Decker banner, as well as several other smaller companies, including Vidmar, Lenox, Sidchrome, Powers, Proto, Lista, and Facom.

You’re almost guaranteed to know some of the biggest names under the Techtronic Industries banner, such as Milwaukee Power Tools, which has its headquarters in Brookfield, Wisconsin. Milwaukee is known for producing high-end tools, but Techtronic Industries also makes tools under several other well-known names that aren’t quite as renowned for their high quality.

Ryobi is one of the names that Techtronic Industries produces tools under, though they don’t own the entire Ryobi company. Rather, they have a licensing deal that allows them to produce and distribute Ryobi tools in Australia, North America, New Zealand, the UK, and Europe. Ryobi tools sold elsewhere are produced by an independent Ryobi tool company.

Similarly, Techtronic Industries has a licensing agreement with Emerson that allows them to produce Ridgid power tools, which are essentially a Home Depot exclusive brand.

If you’ve been around tools for a long time, then you almost certainly know of Bosch. But you might not realize that Bosch is a big conglomerate with multiple manufacturers under its name. Bosch Tools is one of the biggest names under the Bosch banner, producing tools for a variety of industries.

Bosch also owns some more specialized companies, such as Dremel, which is known for their small rotary tools. RotoZip is also a Bosch subsidiary, and they’re known for rotary tools as well, though on a larger scale. Freud and Diablo are the same company, and they’re known for making excellent saw blades.

There are also several companies in the Bosch stable that produce automotive tools and equipment, such as Accu-turn, Beissbarth, Robinair, OTC, and Sunpro. Bosch used to own gardening tool brands Gilmour and Nelson but sold them to Fiskars in 2014.

No, not Chevron, this is Chervon. They own some pretty well-known tool companies, including Skil and Skilsaw, which were purchased from Bosch back in 2017. Those are two of the biggest names in the Chervon family, but Chervon is more than just a parent company. They also produce cordless power tools for other popular companies that you definitely know, like the Kobalt 24V MAX Brushless line of power tools at Lowes.

Other companies that are owned by Chervon include EGO, which makes a potent line of cordless outdoor power equipment, and Devon that makes professional power tools for metalworking, woodworking, and stoneworking, plus high-end DIY tools.

JPW Industries, based in La Vergne, Tennessee, sells products in 20 countries across the world. They offer U.S. based technical support and service for all the brands under their name, which includes such brands as JET Tools. Though JPW Industries is the main parent company, they’re actually owned by a private equity firm named Gamut Capital Management, which is based in New York and manages over $1 billion in assets.

JET is a respected and trusted industrial tool brand, but it’s not the only good name on the roster. JPW Industries subsidiaries include other trusted brands like Wilton that has been producing workholding equipment and striking tools since 1941. Powermatic has been making woodworking tools for hobbyists and master professionals alike for 100 years now. And Edwards Manufacturing, an American company, has been producing tools for ironworking since 1875.

Also included on the JPW Industries roster are companies that make air compressors, fans, pumps, and dehumidifiers like Tool Aire, or companies that produce welding equipment, such as GYS. ProMac creates powerful tools like arbor presses, bandsaws, lathes, and hoists for commercial and household use. And Baileigh Industrial, a newer company founded in 1999, has over 500 woodworking and metalworking products for sale across Europe and America.

Emerson is an international corporation that produces professional tools for anyone in the mechanical, electrical, utility, or plumbing trades. They own several companies, including Greenlee, which has been making top quality products for storage, material handling, testing, fabrication, hole making, bending, and more for over 150 years.

There’s one name on the Emerson lineup you’ll almost certainly know — Ridgid. But if you recall, we already mentioned that most Ridgid tools are produced by Techtronic Industries under a licensing agreement. It’s a bit tricky, but essentially, the Ridgid power tools that are exclusive to Home Depot are entirely made, sold, and distributed by Techtronic Industries. But all the other Ridgid tools, including hand tools, plumbing tools, and other professional industry tools are not licensed to Techtronic Industries; they’re still produced by Ridgid, under the Emerson banner.

Also under the ITW name is a big name in welding, Hobart. If you’ve welded before, or even if you’ve only read about welding, you’ll likely have heard of Hobart or seen their tools. As if that’s not enough of the welding market, ITW owns not just one big name in welding, but two, with Miller Welding as another of their subsidiaries. And you might also know of Paslode, a company that focuses primarily on creating nail guns.

There’s one more tool company under Fortive. They’re a well-known company that produces quality hand, power, and automotive tools, such as socket wrenches, impact wrenches, ball joint presses, fuel pressure test kits, and more.

Delta Power Tools used to be owned by Stanley Black & Decker, but in 2011, it was sold to a Taiwan-based company and a new company was created — Delta Power Equipment Corp. Delta is now operating as its own company, with Chang Type, the Taiwan-based company that purchased Delta Power Tools, manufacturing the tools. Chang Type also produces tools for some of the biggest tool brands in the world, including companies owned by both Stanley Black & Decker and Techtronic Industries.

Snap-on tools is one of the most trusted and loved brands of automotive tools around. You might have even seen the big Snap-on tool trucks driving around, delivering their tools to different shops. But you probably didn’t realize that Snap-on is an umbrella company with quite a few businesses under their belt. These fall under several different Snap-on companies, including Snap-on, Snap-on Industrial, Snap-on Specialty Tools, and SNA Europe.

Some of the biggest names under the Snap-on brand include Sioux, which makes some of the best pneumatic power tools in the world. Snap-on also owns SUN; the brand that many automotive dealers and repair shops trust for their automotive service equipment.

While some tool brands have managed to remain independent and see tremendous growth worldwide, most of the well-known and trusted tool brands are subsidiaries of larger corporations that own many other tool brands as well. In some cases, two brands that are in direct competition are owned by the same parent company! At the end of the day, this information won’t have any effect on the tools you’re using, so stick with your favorite brands, even if you were surprised to find out they’re in the same family as other brands you don’t prefer.

As woodworkers, we always want the best tool for the job, and when it comes to picking the best tool, we try as much as possible to buy from popular and trusted brands. This is not rocket science given that brands with a strong reputation have happy customers which is an indicator of quality tools.

This list is based on years of personal experience, brands I have used, reviews from other woodworkers and the number of customers actively shopping these brands in power tool stores.

Dewalt is a commercial tool and equipment company based in Pennsylvania USA. They are known for producing high-quality power tools and hand tools for construction, woodworking, and home crafts all over the world.

Founded in 1924 by Raymond Dewalt, who is also the inventor of the radial arm saw, they have experienced tremendous growth over a short period. As early as 2001, they had already sold over 200 types of hand and power tools and 800 power tool accessories. Today, many have tagged them as the original power tool manufacturer due to their strong reputation.

According to a recent study carried out by Lifestory Research, they identified Dewalt as the most trusted American power tool brand among DIYers looking to purchase a power tool.

With the wide array of power tools within their portfolio, Dewalt is known for their corded and cordless tools such as Flexvolts that comes in 20V, 60V, and 120V; 12V Max Xtreme Sub-Compact Series; 40V Max Outdoor Power Equipment; and 18V Cordless Drills. On top of that, they also known to offer accessories, hand tools, outdoor, gear & storage equipment.

Being a well-known and trusted producer of heavy-duty power tools and equipment, Milwaukee Tool is one of the top brands that professional handymen and DIYers choose.

The origin of the Milwaukee Tools began in 1918 during World War I when Henry Ford, the founder of Ford Motor Company, was looking for someone who could fabricate a portable power drill. A.H. Petersen took the chance and was able to create what came to be known as the Hole-Shooter. Years later, Petersen met Albert Siebert who became his partner and later on opened the Milwaukee Tools in 1924.

Currently, Milwaukee Tools is a subsidiary of Techtronic Industries Co. Ltd., a leading manufacturer, and marketer of home improvement products founded in 1985.

Milwaukee is known for its corded and cordless tools for drilling, plumbing, electrical, fastening, and woodworking and it also offers a dependable line of battery-powered tools. What’s also good is their company has created a one-key solution that allows businesses to efficiently maintain and manage all of their battery-powered tools.

The brand manufactures over 300 types of tools with its main product being, plumbing equipment for the HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) industry.

The brand’s most remarkable tools are its red pipe wrenches. However, they also specialize in power tools that include hammer drills, impact drivers, and saws.

Ridgid is also known for its cordless power tools, bench and stationary tools, pneumatics & compressors, corded power tools, JobMax, and Tile Saws. Specifically, its cordless power tool line consists of combo ki
