Also, who makes Rockwell Tools?
The Positec Tool Corporation was founded in Suzhou, China, in 1994 by Don Gao. It primarily sold OEM tools to established brands like Black & Decker. In the early 2000s, Gao decided to branch out by manufacturing tools and lawn care accessories under his own brand name.
Correspondingly, are Worx and Rockwell the same company?
Then, in 2005, Positec launched two new brands at that Hardware Show—WORX®, which is a full offering of electric yard and garden tools, and Rockwell Tools. Rockwell's product line includes both professional-duty and more economically priced construction and woodworking tools.
Positec made some Black & Decker products in its Chinese factories in the 1990s but launched rival tool brand Worx and bought the Rockwell brand after Black & Decker started making tools in its own factory in Positec's home city, Suzhou.
