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.

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.
