Black & Decker (the corporation) is distinct from "Black & Decker" the brand; the latter is used by more than one corporation. In particular, "Black & Decker"-branded household products in the Americas (but outside of Brazil) are marketed by a division of Applica, a Florida-based corporation much smaller than Black & Decker Corporation.

The Black & Decker Corporation markets its name under various brands:

* DeWalt tools
* Porter Cable
* Delta Machinery
* Kwikset
* Baldwin
* Weiser Lock
* Price Pfister
* Emhart Teknologies
* Oldham Blades

You learn something new every day!  I knew that the food companies all used the same things, but packaged them different, just didn’t know this for tools as well.
