Herb WeisbaumGUEST
And he finds out that in many cases, it's not like a deliberate, like they say, OK, we're going to make this product worse because everybody believes in this product.
Herb WeisbaumGUEST
But he looks at products like Black & Decker and Brooks Brothers and Doc Martens and GE and Sealy and Whole Foods and says, you know, it was like a little bit here, a little bit there, cut, cut, cut, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze.
Herb WeisbaumGUEST
The equity firm wanted more money, more money.
Herb WeisbaumGUEST
Before you know it, the brand name is there, but the quality and what we knew and loved and why we bought the product is gone.
Herb WeisbaumGUEST
I went to a couple of sources.
Herb WeisbaumGUEST
I think I went to Wirecutter.com. in the New York Times and a couple others and I found a great fan that was $30 more and it's so quiet and it's so streamlined and so well designed and sometimes you have to just pay a little bit more to get something good but before I buy something I check with reputable sources and I check with Consumer Reports not only for the review but for the reliability because so many brands have changed and you have a favorite name that you know of and it's not a reliable brand anymore and you can see that really quickly in the Consumer Reports reliability ratings that You know, May tags aren't what they used to be.
Herb WeisbaumGUEST
And some of the other brands like, you know, Black & Decker Tools.
Herb WeisbaumGUEST
My brother who used to work at QVC said, you know, they're not what they used to be and that kind of thing.

And we'll take those out and give kids, you know, the children prizes for good face painting, cake decorating.

And Black & Decker are working with us this year on building a wooden pumpkin, which is a new one for us.
Mark Mortimer-DaviesGUEST
So, and I think you'll see, you know, you'll see different events going across the region with many companies tomorrow.
Mark Mortimer-DaviesGUEST
And as you said, after the year we've had, you know, a little bit of fun is to be enjoyed.
Eric DickisonHOST
But Smith & Wesson lost, that's 129.
Eric DickisonHOST
Oh, and then Stanley Black & Decker, because if you believe it was about a tape measure, you're an idiot.
Eric DickisonHOST
But that's a loss of 300 jobs.
Eric DickisonHOST
How many jobs did I just mention there, folks? Okay, that's like 350, 300.
Mike FerranteHOST
You know, I've got upstairs, I've got a Vitamix blender.
Mike FerranteHOST
I could have went out and bought a Black & Decker blender for a tenth of the price.
Mike FerranteHOST
And I'd probably have already be on my fourth or fifth one by now.
Mike FerranteHOST
So, again, it's price versus value.
Donna LynnHOST
It's pretty durable, and it's quite strong, so I'm definitely.
VinceHOST
So if you're looking for something that is, you know, Black & Decker quality.
Donna LynnHOST
Pseudo-Hitachi-ish.
Donna LynnHOST
Maybe Milwaukee.
Matt SalisHOST
But surely the greatest indication of our teenage brilliance was the many Friday nights we spent shining cars.
Matt SalisHOST
Fresh off the success of the Dustbuster portable vacuum, the fine folks at Black & Decker released the rechargeable Spotlighter.
Matt SalisHOST
Compared to the standard flashlight of the era, with a couple of double-D batteries in the handle, the spotlighter had the brightness of Michael Jackson's sequin-encrusted glove.
Matt SalisHOST
We would lay down in the drainage ditches next to the roads, then pop up and shine the spotlighter in the windshields of oncoming traffic.
Bob RogersGUEST
Start with the product of the product.
Bob RogersGUEST
Black and Decker used to tell their salespeople, don't sell the drills, sell holes.
Bob RogersGUEST
because that's what the buyer really wants is good holds.
Bob RogersGUEST
Actually, you could go in and say the product of that product is pictures of my grandkids on my wall nicely hung.
