A Brief History of DeWalt Power Tools

From the time he was a child Raymond E DeWalt watched and learned from his father the intricacies of woodworking and involved construction. Upon leaving school as an adolescent, he prolonged to consequent this path and earned his keep at mills and construction sites as jobs were available. The young DeWalt though, also learned from his father that a life in mill-work was difficult one, and in order to simplify his own life and to capitalize on both the corporal and frugal expenses of hard labor, he used the advantages of his youth and perceive to continually refine and heighten the machines around him to meet the sure needs and specifications of distinct jobsites.

DeWalt's ingenuity and expertise in the field were largely and all the time evident and soon he was offered a position as the head of a major woodworking mill that manufactured nearly all from the easy six-panel box to the modern, involved home. As fate would have it, DeWalt's mill had more work than it could deal with and as the President of the firm allowed no budget space for added labor costs, DeWalt naturally had to get more productive yield from the existing force. DeWalt was forced into a jam and emerged with the first working model of what we know today as the radial arm saw.

Designing a yoke which attached directly to a saw and motor, and mounting this mechanism to a appropriate arm, DeWalt's machine could be raised and lowered, could slide back and forth, and could tilt to any bevel; as a result, DeWalt generated the work of four men with this machine, he reduced yield costs, and fully enhanced thorough productivity in the process. By 1922, and as Superintendent of Seabrook Farms, DeWalt perfected his radial arm machine and forever altered the woodworking, crafting, and construction industries.

Just two years later in 1924 DeWalt formed the DeWalt Products firm and purchased a plant and office construction in Leola, Pennsylvania where he marketed the "Wonder-Worker," the electrical, universal woodworking machine he'd developed at Seabrook Farms. In 1929 Dewalt Products firm upgraded their facilities with a new and modern plant and office construction in Lancaster, Pa where after adding 40,000 quadrilateral feet of manufacturing space, an 8,400 quadrilateral foot showroom, and a 16,000 quadrilateral foot warehouse, they still remain today. In 1947, DeWalt Products firm fully reorganized and reincorporated itself under DeWalt Inc. Later, only added augmenting their enterprise, DeWalt Inc. Extended its operations to Canada and acquired the United States and Canadian patent ownership to the Bennett Two-Way Panel Saw.

In the spirit of DeWalt's first radial arm saw, 1967 crashed another wave upon the shores of the tooling community as DeWalt introduced the bench grinder and soon followed this introduction with that of intense metal cutting machines for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. In 1992, DeWalt introduced their first line of transportable galvanic power tools and accessories especially designed for professional industrial and residential workers. In 1994, only two years later, DeWalt broke ground once more with the issue of their new cordless power tool theory which included over 30 ultimate power tools. Among them, a 14.4V cordless drill/driver, which was, at the time, the most powerful cordless tool on the market, and the first ever drill/driver/hammerdrill compound tool. Allowing crafters to work with far greater productivity and to build with a high-performance power tool, the theory took construction to a fully new level.

By 2001 the DeWalt Inc. firm included over 200 galvanic power tools and over 800 accessories to heighten them. Today, after more than nine decades of innovation in the woodworking and power tool industries, DeWalt continues to move the community to new heights. Accordingly, DeWalt remains one of the most trusted and high-performance brands in the industry.
