With a garage full of cheap-to-not-cheap tools, many made by Stanley-Black & Decker, and many of those dremeled to use the same batteries because I specifically researched their brands and market segmentation, I’m a bit nonplussed that I was today years old when I figured it out.

    There’s also the Stanley Brothers of the Stanley Motor Carriage Company known for the Stanley Steamer steam-driven cars, and one of those brothers also built the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, CO!

      Stanley Steemer

      Not to be confused with Stanley Steamer steam vehicles.
