OK, I know this is old information, but this is a well done video of who owns and manufactures what tools. There is some interesting info buried in the video, also. Do you know, that, there are two different Rigid tool lines; Orange colored and Red colored? The red ones are the true Rigid brand and geared towards the commercial end and the orange colored ones are manufactured, under license to Rigid, by several different companies. The video, also, touches on where the tool brands are based, what their annual tool sales, in dollars, is, and how many people they employ Anyway, enjoy...

Mark Stansbury (creator) posted on this (his) link on another site. This is a treasure trove of resource material, catalogs and the like for anyone that appreciates, uses, collects or researches old tools. Kudos to him for his vast work...I've C&P his comments from another site. Posted 09/16/2017 About a year ago I started uploading tool catalogs that I have scanned onto the Internet Archive (Archive.org). In July the uploads got a name, International Tool Catalog Library, and it's now up to 562 catalogs and other items. This includes many of the old Rose Antique Tool scanned catalogs, and whatever I could find on Google Books. There are many on woodworking hand tools, and you can pick topics or manufacturer to help find what you want. In addition to American, there are 42 English catalogs, 31 French catalogs, and a few others. Please bookmark it, download and save what you want, and spread the word. Wiktor Kuc is using some of my scans for WK Fine Tools. If you have scanned something that you'd want to add to this effort, please contact me. I'm particularly looking for the big names like Stanley and Millers Falls, including tool instructions.

And I thought the finish industry was bad with 8 or so companies owning most of the market. http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/gear/a28359/megabrands-tools-graphic/?src=socialflowFB
