who owns what tool brands

[–] Phytobus@lemm.ee 11 points 1 day ago

TLDR: out of all of these the only real european companies are:

  • Bosch (group)
  • TTS tooltechnic systems (group)
  • Fein (independent)
  • Hilti (independent)

And makita from Japan and one of the only independent manufacturers left, as well as Fein and Hilti.

For some reason, I always thought Ryobi was Japanese.

Guess I’m switching to Bosch.

Hikoki (formerly Hitachi) is Japanese.
