Home Depot is adding 30 new power tools by Ridgid, a brand for professional users, to its product offer in stores throughout the USA and Canada. Company announcements claim that this is the largest introduction of products in this category ever carried out by Home Depot. The DIY chain has the exclusive right to market these tools in home improvement stores. The intention is to underscore the position of Home Depot in relation to commercial customers. The tools are both developed and manufactured by OWT Industries, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Techtronic Industries.
