Has MTD dropped Ryobi?
Original Message Jul 12, 2005 5:07 pm

I was looking to see if they still made my model 700r trimmer, but Ryobi isn't listed on MTD's site. I got to pick up a heavier cutter for it soon.

Here is one web site with a small amount of info on Ryobi and how they license their name:

Here is another web site from the japanese parent company:

Interesting! Thanks!

Ryobi has a different opinion about their products reputation than I do.

Thanks Lint....

interesting link, now I know where the Rigid power tools come from (I've got an orbital sander, so far so good

)

And I see that Milwaukee has only been in the fold since the first of the year. It will be interesting to see if quality is maintained.

Those are some of the homeliest blondes I've seen.

That's why they put beer in bags.

The guy at the beer store asked me if I wanted paper or plastic.
