Tool companies under new ownership
The thread on Bosch tools and their quality compared to other brands got me to thinking about the bigger tool company acquisitions in the last couple of years. Has there been any noticable change in quality or performance with Milwaukee or Porter Cable since they’ve been bought out? Just asking out of curiosity – the tool budget is pretty tight since I bought my first house three weeks ago.

Great question,
Serious amature here looking soon to add small/medium planner and jointer to new workshop we are currently building. I've always enjoyed and saved to buy new.
Should I look for good used? (not possible thefts from pawn shop or e-bay)
