[QUOTE="tinman, post: 5577564, member: 11821"] looking at the back of a tool mag i was gifted the other day i noticed a Hitachi and a Metabo air nailer and both were identical bar the brand names, had a quick google there and took the first one, seems there has been a bit of buying and selling of late, it was news to me, could be common knowledge for all i know. the pair are owned by an outfit called KKR, only recently mind but from a bit of reading, KKR don't have a great rep, a private equity firm whos main goal is profit it seems. im personally not too worried about Hitachi but id hate to think KKR would run the Metabo stuff into the ground on the back of a quality name, i use their grinders here and i couldn't fault them, their not the cheap versions mind you, be a pity to see the quality diminish imo but here's hoping... a link and a few quotes.
