Just heard today that Black and Decker / Stanley bought MTD

In 2019 B-D purchased 20% of MTD and part of that agreement was they had the option of purchasing the other 80% on July 1 of this year. So I would say it is a true statement.

Wondering if they will keep the Craftsman name and eliminate some of the other brand names produced by MTD or do away with the Craftsman name all together.

Well that will depend if MTD actually own the name or they make the mower for another entity or use the name under license .
Remember what they taught you in high schools about the wonders of the free market economy with lots of suppliers all inovating & competing for ou business driving developement up & prices down .
Are things starting to look like a bad episode of Get Smart where the "evil empire" owns everything ?
