Who Owns Your Favorite Power Tool Company? [2022]
It’s 2022. Do you ever wonder who owns Craftsman tools? How about who manufactures Milwaukee, Mac Tools, or Skilsaw? It may surprise you to know that only a handful of companies own your favorite power tool manufacturers. That’s right, most tool brands fall under a parent company that also controls additional brands. We break it down for you…with logos!
Of course, we didn’t include every tool company in this video. Honestly, we didn’t have the time! We did, however, do our best to include as many tool brand parent companies as possible. Starting with several of the largest manufacturers who likely own more brands than you think.

Hey guys, I have an older dewalt set that is burnt out, I’m looking to buy a new set. I am wondering what is the best brand based off of your research. Looking for solid tools.
So i need to buy makita and hilti tools?
Cause i only have a snap on ATECH.
And fishbowling the matco 6s tool box.
Makita for the win
I hate stanley black and decker profusely; they are an evil company making crap and crapifying the tools of previously good companies they buy, eg Facom. Facom was the pride and joy of France until bought by SBD
This is why I love makita 🔥👍🏼
What’s up with the gay music
Nice to know that my favorite manufactures are still relatively independent: Makita, Starrett, Mayhew, Mitutoyo, OSG. Not sure about some of the German brand I prefer, or Chicago-Latrobe and Cleveland here in the US.
I gues you could add many many more small tools companies to list, but 3 companies/brands that are missing and stood out to me are: harbor freight branded tools, grizzly, and WEN Tools. These 3 companies are big enough to be included.
love the rock music with the narration LUL
Get mumme tools they are great
I don’t care what company owns what companies. I want to know what COUNTRY owns those companies. Trying to find tools that aren’t sold by Chinese owned companies.
Bezos and Musk will soon own everything and if we don’t accept their mark on our foreheads, we won’t be allowed to buy anything…
As a Trading company from China, what I can tell you is Most company have t o OEM or ODM with many manufactures in China, however even the manufacture is different, there are a lot parts are compatible from each other. For example, most company use Lithium-Ion battery and the model is 18650, which can only manufacture by Samsung, LG, Panasonic, BYD and a few company with very similar performance and specification. Also a lot Big Brand purchase a lot tools they do not manufacture in their own plant, for example, DC power screwdriver is mostly OEM product from China, and a lot drills too. Our trading company almost supplied one big box store in US which is selling Hart tools now.
Who makes Mastercraft at Canadian tire and Maximum
Not surprising to me. Vanguard and blackrock own everything
Had to quit watching. It’s the power rock blasting as loud as the words! Sorry buddy but I’m getting a headache now .🤕
*And Makita?*
Positec/Worx now have the Bauker sub-brand as well as making a lot of own-brand tools – several OB cordless drills take the Worx 18/20V MAX batteries.
Husqvarna was founded way back in 1689 as a rifle maker for the swedish king. Nowadays they mainly make lawnmowers and sewing machines. Thats what 200 years of peace does to a company.
Who owns them in 2021… posted in 2019.
Any idea if Stanley / Black and Decker is in any way connected to Popoman/Teccpo in Guangdong, China?
As a gardener, my go to brand is Husqvarna primarily or Stihl! For power tools, predominantly Bosch!
Volkswagen owns Lamborghini……..doesn’t make your Jetta a Gallardo
I love Makita but they need more options in their battery tools system
Snap on plsss
Most of these tools are the same tool made in the same factory in China you just get a mark up for a different (logo) color sticker 😂
Then who owns Hart tools?
I like tti and Stanley the most
How own Delta Tools?
Any idea who makes the MasterCraft line for Canadian tire, in Canada?
Who owns snap on?
Makita, has a sister company called maktec
So 3 different companies license the rigid name? I’m confused
Matrix tools
Mailtank 😂
So if matco is owned by fortive, then why does Sata have the same logo when they’re owned by Apex?
Positec makes the new caterpillar power tool line.
I just bought a Kobalt Table saw model KT 10152. I swear it’s a rebadge of my buddies Delta 36-6020. Just a different color. He paid almost double “for the name” although I didn’t see anything on this video about delta building power tools for Lowe’s/Kobalt
Do you know who manufactures the cordless tool brand Kimo sold by Amazon?
What about Porter-Cable I did not hear anything about Porter-Cable
Snap On
Funny thumbnail says 2021 but video was made 2 years ago
I believe spyder saw blades, and drill accessories are made by Makita.
Didn’t realize 2021 was 2 years ago.
Bottom line: The quality of any given tool, tool brand, or tool line, is up for grabs. The day is gone when you could say: Such and such a tool is good, and another is junk. I have two circular saws, a Makita and a Skil. Both are made in China. Contrary to expectation, the cheap Skil is a better saw. Go figure. Welcome to the new reality.
Yamico sorry if my Japanese is terrible i rather have them over mtds.
Snap-On industrial brands too, they own Bahco and a bunch of other brands
You missed snapon guy…
But who owns FEIN?
Ho owns ENERTWIST brand?
