... BAD NEWS....
...It was only a matter of time that our last great American tool manufacturer bit the dust.I'm disgusted...the quality is no doubt going to suffer,as well as workmanship and materials.They will probably start using all-plastic planetary gears,and an inferior casing which will be given to cracks if you lay the tool down carelessly...This really stinks!!!
