It's worth noting that the "good" European brands are still self-owned. Husqvarna, Stihl, Bosch. IIRC also Festool. And of course Snap-On.

Home depot doesn't make anything. While Husky used to be an actual tool company, now they're just a name that home depot owns and slaps on stuff made by other companies. From wikipedia:

Husky is a line of hand tools, pneumatic tools, and tool storage products. Though founded in 1924, it is now best known as the house brand of The Home Depot, where it is exclusively sold. Its hand tools are manufactured for Home Depot by Stanley Black & Decker, Western Forge, Apex Tool Group, and Iron Bridge Tools.[1]
