Black & Decker are marketing a four-in-one power tool called... quattro.
They're not actually making much of the name, instead calling it by its
other name: Firestorm. In recent TV ads, the quattro name has been dropped
altogether.

Might have something to do with Audi's lawyers, but I doubt it- it's just
the Italian word for 'four' after all.
