OverviewThe original company was started in 1923 by Raymond E. Dewalt, the inventor of the radial arm saw. The company grew quickly and was reorganized and re incorporated in 1947 as DewaltInc. After buying the company in 1949, American Machine & Foundry Co., Inc. sold it to Black & Decker in 1960. Black & Decker divested itself of the radial arm saw manufacturing branch in 1989, selling it to two executives. Radial arm saws that use the original Dewalt design can still be obtained from the Original Saw Co. 1992, Black & Decker started a major effort to rebrand its professional quality and high-end power tools to Dewalt. In 1994, Dewalttook over the German wood working power tool producer ELU. Dewalt increased their line of tools using ELU's technology. As of 2001, Dewaltmanufactures and sells more than 200 different power hand tools and 800 accessories. Dewalt is now a popular brand of tools for commercial contractors. In 2004, Black and Decker bought rival power tool manufacturer Porter-Cable and combined it with Dewalt in Jackson, Tennessee.[4] In 2011, Dewaltlaunched a line of contractors' hand tools (including utility knives, pliers, adjustable wrenches, tape measures, saws, and hammers).[5] In 2013, the line was expanded to include mechanics' tools (wrenches, ratchets, and sockets). In December 2013, Dewalt issued a press release stating it would be bringing some assembly of a small selection of their products to the United States using globally manufactured parts from Brazil, China, the Czech Republic, Italy, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The products assembled in the United States would be branded under the label, "Built in the USA with global materials. As of 2015, Dewalt has seven manufacturing facilities building Dewalt branded products in the United States: New Britain, CT, Hampstead, MD, Shelbyville, KY, Greenfield, IN, Cheraw, SC, Charlotte, NC, and Jackson, TN. In April 2016, Dewalt created an Android powered smartphone designed for building industry workers. The device, which costs £379 ($544), is designed to survive a 2 m (6 ft 7 in) drop onto concrete and has an operating range of −20–60 °C (−4–140 °F). On September 1, 2016, Dewalt debuted its FlexVolt hybrid voltage battery pack, an industry first. The pack can switch between series battery wiring providing 60 V (54 V nominal) and 2 Ah, or parallel wiring for 20 V (18 V nominal) and 6 Ah, depending upon whether it is installed in a 60 V or 20 V tool as determined by communications between the tool and the battery.
