Dewalt Power Tool Company

I started this website because I love power tools, but I especially love Dealt power tools. I have been a carpenter for over 13 years. I always get questions from people about power tools and what they should buy. I tried to put together a simple website that explains each main Dewalt power tool. If your looking for another brand power tool, read through this website and you will get a good idea of what to compare with Dewalt and the other brand. Here is a little information on Dewalt power tool company

Dewalt start in 1922 with the first invention of the radial arm. Raymond Dewalt was trying to save on labor cost, so he designed a yoke and attached a motor. The saw could be raised, lowered and slide back and forth, moved to any angle or tilted to any bevel. As a company Dewalt was doing well, but Dewalt got a really big boost when in 1941 received a bunch of contracts from the United States government. In 1953 Dewalt expanded their operations into Canada making Dewalt the start of a global company.

In 1992 Dewalt sold out to Black and Decker. Black and Decker decided on running Dewalt as a separate company. In 1992 Dewalt introduced their line of portable power tools. 1994 Dewalt introduced 30 new cordless tools. At the time they were the most powerful cordless tools on the market, 14.4 Volts.

Currently Dewalt is still a power house for professional power tools. The Dewalt line consists of over 200 electric power tools and 800 accessories. They sell everything from a simple drill bit to a top notch sliding miter saw. Go to all most any jobsite and you will be guaranteed to see at least one Dewalt professional power tool.

In September of 2005 Dewalt introduces a new line of line of miter saws including a laser system. That same year they` announced their new line of 36 volt heavy duty product line that will come out in 2006.
