After reading the previous post about Thomas compressors possibly following most other tool makers in the "Race to the bottom", I wondered what the BORGS still sell that is still high quality stuff I'd be proud to buy and use. Here are some examples I can think of quickly. Feel free to add to the list.
1. HD-Spax screws! These things are the Rolls Royce of screws. I can't believe HD still carries them when they can sell M.I.C for a nickle less.
2. HD&Lowes-Kreg jigs
3. HD/Lowes-Purdy paint brushes
4. Lowes-Bessey Clamps HD-Jorgensen clamps
5. That's about it for me. Sad state of affairs...
