I forgot, Britool (British Tool and Engineering Company) is another 
Stanley brand, mostly sold in the UK. They also shared designs with 
Facom and SK. This one <http://www.britool.com/product.php?p=AFS20> 
looks like the Roto/Tuff1 It's at a decent bid price at the moment.

I'm pretty sure Blackhawk is gone as a stand-alone. I don't see a 
separate web page for them anywhere.
