DeWALT

DeWALT is an American brand of power tools, hand tools, and outdoor equipment, founded in 1924 by Raymond DeWalt in Leola, Pennsylvania. DeWalt invented the radial arm saw, a machine that allowed woodworkers to perform crosscuts, rip cuts, and miter cuts with a single tool, transforming construction and woodworking. The company was sold to American Machine & Foundry in 1949, then to Black & Decker in 1960. Since the 2010 merger of Stanley Works and Black & Decker, DeWALT has operated as a trademark of Black & Decker (U.S.) Inc., a subsidiary of Stanley Black & Decker. The brand is known for its yellow-and-black color scheme and targets professional tradespeople and serious DIYers.

DeWALT's product range spans over 200 cordless tools across its 20V MAX and FlexVolt battery platforms, including drills, circular saws, impact drivers, grinders, band saws, air compressors, and drywall tools. The FlexVolt system automatically switches voltage when the battery is moved between tools, offering compatibility across 20V, 60V, and 120V devices. The brand also produces outdoor power equipment such as lawn mowers, trimmers, and jobsite fans. Products are sold through major retailers like The Home Depot, Lowe's, Walmart, Amazon, and Acme Tools.

DeWALT's headquarters are in Towson, Maryland. As part of Stanley Black & Decker's tools and outdoor segment, the brand contributes an estimated $4-5 billion in annual revenue. Its primary competitors include Milwaukee Tool, Makita, Bosch, and Ryobi. DeWALT continues to release new tools and run aggressive promotional campaigns, such as the July 2026 offers at Lowe's with up to $498 in free tools and Walmart discounts on batteries and fans. [edit]
