PTI states that they have attempted to work with SawStop to incorporate similar technology into table saws manufactured by various other companies. PTI was unable to reach an agreement with SawStop on licensing the technology for other table saw manufacturers. Members from the Power Tool Institute provided demonstrations of their table saws that incorporate newly designed blade guards which meet the UL 987 safety standard. The group urged the commission not to proceed to mandatory rulemaking with SawStop technology. .

Stanley Black and Decker Techtronic Industries Co Ltd (TTI) Chevron
Who Owns What? Andrew Davis May, 2019 This is a redacted version of an article II found on protoolreviews.com. I remember growing up when General Motors offered different brands at different price points (until they all the brands started to overlap before GM collapsed) – Cadillac at the top end, followed by Oldsmobile, Buick, Pontiac, and Chevy. We have a similar situation in woodworking tools (also in kitchen appliances) except that in the case of tools, the multi-brand company is more often a case of acquisitions rather than organic development. Anyway, for those readers interested in the business side of tools, this column, which is a departure from my usual thread, may be of interest. Stanley Black and Decker Stanley Black & Decker (SBD) turned heads when it bought Craftsman Tools in 2017 after Sears closed 235 stores in 2015. Dating back to 1843 with a man named Frederick Stanley, the company merged in 2010 with Black and Decker. As of 2017, the company maintains a $7.5 billion business in tools & storage alone. SBD brands include: DeWalt Stanley Black + Decker Bostitch Craftsman Vidmar Mac Tools Irwin Lenox Proto Porter-Cable Powers Fasteners Lista Sidchrome Emglo USAG Techtronic Industries Co Ltd (TTI) TTI owns Milwaukee Tool and a host of other power tool companies. It also licenses the RIDGID and RYOBI names for cordless power tools (Emerson actually owns RIDGID and makes the red tools). Founded in 1985 in Hong Kong, TTI sells tools all over the world and employs over 22,000 people. TTI had worldwide annual sales of over US$6 billion in 2017.

Market Research Report on Table Saw Industry And
MEMORANDUM | 28 MARCH 2016 TO William Zamula and Robert Franklin, Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Directorate for Economic Analysis FROM Jane Israel, Matthew Baumann, and Jennifer Baxter, Industrial Economics, Incorporated (IEc) SUBJECT Revised Final Table Saws Market Research Report On April 15, 2003, Stephen Gass, David Fanning, and James Fulmer, representing SawStop, petitioned the Consumer Protection Safety Commission (CPSC) to promulgate a mandatory standard to reduce or prevent injuries from contact with the blade of a table saw. The petitioners alleged that table saws pose an unacceptable risk of severe injury because they lack an adequate safety system to protect the user from accidental contact with the spinning blade during operation. To mitigate this risk, the petitioners requested that CPSC require that table saws include an active injury mitigation (AIM) system that retracts the table saw blade instantly upon contact with human flesh. The request was docketed as CP03-2 and published for comment.1 On July 11, 2006, CPSC voted to grant Petition CP03-2 and directed staff to draft an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR). The CPSC lost its quorum on July 15, 2006 and was unable the move forward the publication of the ANPR at that time. The ANPR was ultimately published in 2011.2 The goal of the ANPR is to reduce blade contact injuries from table saws. To enhance CPSC’s understanding of the market for table saws, IEc conducted market research relying on publicly available information and limited outreach to potentially affected entities. Our efforts are intended to supplement information and data previously collected by CPSC and provided via public comment.
