[Ken Nagrod]

Well, it looks like it's done.  Stanley-Black&Decker has decided to keep Porter Cable but sell off Delta to a Chinese company.

Well, no matter what China thinks Taiwan is NOT China. AND their reputation for making great tools is much better than China's.

The Taiwanese can make a nice tool!

This seems nice:

Delta has long been known for making many of its tools here in the United States. But some tools and parts are made overseas. So far, according to Whiffen, that plan will not change. “Tools made in the U.S. will continue to be made here.” But, he says, “outsourced tools will be made in the same factories as well.” The corporate headquarters will be moved to Anderson, S.C.
