Stanley Black & Decker, Inc., formerly known as The Stanley Works, is an American manufacturer of industrial tools and household hardware, and a provider of security products.

The 2010 merger joined Stanley Works, a tool maker since 1843, with Black & Decker, and the combined company sells hand tools, power tools, and outdoor equipment largely through big-box retailers. Retail concentration is the structural weakness: a small number of customers control shelf space and negotiate hard. DeWalt and Craftsman are the brands that carry pricing power. Post-pandemic inventory correction forced a multi-year cost reduction program. Headquarters are in New Britain, Connecticut.

A protective put caps your downside on the SWK position at a chosen floor; a zero-cost collar pays for that floor by capping the upside. This calculator prices both structures off the current SWK option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.
Example: a 5,000-share SWK position at $98.4 is worth $492,000. A 1-year 30%-OTM put on that position typically runs 2-4% of position value per year (about $9,840 to $19,680) before any premium offset from a short call. The calculator prices both structures off SWK's current option chain so you see the actual cost for your chosen floor, tenor, and cap.
