For clarification, I don't have a problem with it. I don't blame Lowes for not honoring the warranty for tools it didn't sell. But yes, Stanley/Black & Decker owns the right to make and sell the the brand. Lowe's just carries it. And yes, the quality has suffered over the years. As I said, the brand isn't what it used to be.
