Is Rockwell a good tool brand?

31
Rockwell is best know for it's oscillating multi-tool, the Sonicrafter, as their model of the original Fein tool is one of the biggest sellers in the market. I have one, have used it extensively, and will say that it is a great product. I don't know where it is made, but it is not cheap junk.


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.

Additionally, are Rockwell and Worx batteries interchangeable? Compatible Li-ion slide-in battery pack for use with all Li-ion Worx and Rockwell power tools from the 18V and 20V PowerShare series. This battery can be charged with your existing Worx charger (for example WA3848, WA3860 and WA3867) and is fully is interchangeable with Worx and Rockwell battery number(s):

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.

Is Worx made by Black and Decker?

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.

Who owns positec?

Rockwell International had sold power tools under the name until the early 1980s but hadn't used the trademark since. So Duncan registered it, and Positec rolled out the brand with a new logo. It now generates 40% of Positec's U.S. sales.

Does Stanley own Mac Tools?

Stanley also owns MAC Tools and manufactures MAC tools in the same plants. Now here's the kicker: MAC Tools, Proto Tools (a very expensive industrial brand), Husky Tools, and, (prior to five or so years ago) Craftsman Tools are all made from the same forgings in the same plants.

Which is better DeWalt or Makita?

From experience, DeWalt's 20-volt drill has a bit more torque than the Makita, although the difference is rather negligible. The DeWalt is also a fair bit heavier/bulkier - with its 3-speed transmission and big 20-volt battery - than the leaner/slimmer 2-speed Makita.
