I seen Stanley is getting an exclusive partnership with Home Depot. I’m not sure if it just means Fatmax or Stanley as a whole. What do you guys think? Will it affect other retailers much? Might not even do much to other retailer except for Lowes and Menards. Some of the smaller stores sell what ever brands they want to sell regardless of exclusivity to Home Depot.
I’m not surprised, as SBD and Lowe’s probably want to maximize Craftsman sales. After seeing some of Craftsman’s newer tools, it seems that they will be covering the gamut between lower-tier Stanley and Fatmax tools.
