Sorry Matt,
It's true.
B&D brought out many tool lines in the past, they were aimed at many different markets. Remember the $14.00 3/8" drill from K-Mart? They have tried to penetrate the entire electric hand tool market over the years. B&D has had many different marketing tactics through the years. Some of them were really good tools, some REALLY sucked. They came out with a line of tools that had green plastic covers. Those really sucked! Some of the older all aluminum housed tools are collectable! I have an old Rockwell all aluminum 1/2" drill that will break your arm if you hang it up!
B&D ahs bought other smaller tool MFG's and kept the names to strengthen their market share.
Can you tell I was in the Power Tool business?
I worked for Porter Cable many years ago.
B&D was the enemy!
ps
I have a B&D 9" grinder that is over 40 years old and still running fine!
