Irwin corp.
What's up with Irwin? They seem to be buying everything in site. They own Marples and Levolution now.
They trying to take on Stanley toolworks as far as hand tools?
I've wanted to get that Levelution 24"+48"=72" level but I can't find it on Irwin's site.

Re: Irwin corp.
I went to Sears today looking for a chaulk-box cause a guy at work hates his Irwin.Figured I'd get him a craftsman. Not one in the place! Had around 50 Irwins though.Guess I get to hear him cuss his Irwin some more.

I'm not a fan of the irwin chalk lines either. I do have a Tajima chalk line on my Amazon.com's wishlist. Just need to find some generous friends.

Re: Irwin corp.
I'm pretty sure Irwin is noe part of Rubermaid. So more promotional marketing and less product improvement marketing is the furture. Tools designed for a lower common denominator.

Re: Irwin corp.
I hate the speedline by irwin. I wish that they would come out with the original speedline again. It was bulky and thick, but they worked great.
