The Legacy of DeWalt Tools
If you’ve ever been around a power tool, it’s most likely that it was either yellow, red, or blue. If it was yellow then it must’ve been a DeWalt power tool. Founded in 1924 by Raymond E. DeWalt, the inventor of the radial arm saw, the brand has grown from a humble beginning to an internationally recognized powerhouse. Since 1960 DeWalt has been owned by Black & Decker serving as its professional and high quality tool brand. In 2013, DeWalt started assembling their tools in the USA with parts from Brazil, Mexico, Italy, China, Czech Republic, United Kingdom and USA. The brand’s legacy is built on the foundation of relentless innovation and a commitment to meeting the rigorous demands of professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts alike.

When purchasing a DeWalt tool you’re guaranteed durability, comfort, and decades of innovation with every product. Here are some key innovative features you can expect:- Brushless Motor Technology: Many of DeWalt's power tools feature brushless motors that deliver more power, run cooler, and last longer than traditional brushed motors, offering increased efficiency and durability. So if you’re going to buy a tool, make sure it has a brushless motor.
