Do you ever wonder who owns Milwaukee tools? How about who manufactures Flex, Makita, or DeWalt? 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!

*This is the 2024 update to our Power Tool Manufacturers and Who Really Owns Them video from 2019 that many of you loved! Let's see how the landscape has changed in the past 5 years.

    TTS parent company was missed (Festool, SawStop, Tanos, etc.) Also the parent company for Metabo and Metabo HPT was missed. Another is the company who makes Worx and Catipillar power tools.

    What about metabo and festool? And in Europe, what about Einhell, Dexter and Parkside?
  • @davidgold5961
    Started with DeWalt, then Milwaukee, then switched to MAKITA due to them being innovative and having tools others do not offer. Yes, some of it can be expensive, but the quality is excellent. Let’s face it, most tool brands are very good if not excellent. A skilled operator can do a lot with ANY brand of tool.

    I have been a woodworker for the last 40 years and have my own shop for the last 10 years. Just wanted to to say Nice Job. 👍💪

    Here is one, "Shop Smith". The only American wood working shop tool maker. All made in the US, minus digital circuit boards. Not battery here, one cord and a mix of tool addon's.

    In England the rhyming slang for Black & Decker is Hack and Wrecker 😂
  • If you use these tools hard, till death do us part, Makita and Milwaukee are the best i have seen. Driving timber lock screws and ripping 2x12s seperates the best from the rest.
  • Where can I get the graphic as a poster? I teach Engineering students and it would be awesome example of “the tangled web we weave”.
  • It is important to know that the owner of the brand, is not the same company that produce the tool, but he does determine the quality (and after sale service) . Many production companies produce tools (and parts of tools) for a large number of different brands.
  • @htroberts
    is the picture available somewhere?
  • @nir8924
    Nice review! Also missing: worx and einhell
  • @slinkytrips
    Chervon is also manufacturing tools for Hilti now, most notably the new oscillating multi tool.
  • Where can we find a PDF poster of the brands. I am a visual learner and there is no way for me to remember what you listed and being able to make meaningful purchase decisions based on common platforms and manufacturers would be great.
  • @RayW808
    Cant help but wonder what would happen to most of these companies with Chinese manufacturing if something were to happen with Taiwan.
  • @bigrich6750
    Skill has really done a great job creating home owner power tools, like their new contractor table saw that competes with Dewalt at about half the price.
  • @wardle2066
    In countries such as Malaysia, South Africa and Panama for example, I am seeing Total and Ingco tools. They all the same but with different brands. They are budget tools, Chinese, but so far, the tools I have bought from them have stood up to the torture. I should add, I have pretty much owned many of the more well known brands, Bosch, Skill, Black and Decker, DeWalt, Makita, Ryobi and few stranger brands like Toro .... Have you encountered these?
  • Hello congradulations on the reserch and info given about the maine tool manufacturers very informative... But i was wondering who makes METABO and WALTER STHIL, DELTA, KING and GENERAL tools ? unless i missed the info ! Thank you

    Porter Cable was jettisoned by SBD some years ago. Still in business, but only a few products.
