I think Greg you are going to have to put together a "family tree" for all
the tools and post it on the list. Most people don't know what you
financial guys do anyhow :)!

|Blackhawk as well as another industrial brand called Challenger are also,
|believe it or not, manufactured by Stanley Mechanics Tools in Dallas and
|Witchita Falls, Texas. Blackhawk is the brand that Stanley uses to market
|through the non-mobile automotive channel (auto parts stores). Challenger
is
|sold through industrial channel distributors like Grainger and MSC. Lets
|see...other brands...let me think. Stanley makes Master Mechanics,
|Goldblatt, cheaper lines like Popular Mechanics (import), various other
|private label mass merchant brands (import) and I can't remember what else.
|Heck, I'm just a financial guy. Not a product manager.
