Various companies in the construction and woodworking industries have been using DeWalt power tools since the company's inception in 1924.
But the groundwork of what was to become DeWalt was laid in 1922, when company founder Raymond E.
DeWalt perfected the world's first radial arm machine in response to the demands of his job at the time.
This machine, known as the "Wonder-Worker," greatly increased the versatility of woodworkers, and was the company's first product offering when it opened its doors two years later.
DeWalt increased its capacity to serve the needs of clients by moving to an advanced facility in Lancaster, Pennsylvania five years afterwards.
The company began to grow rapidly in 1941 to meet the rapid demand for its tools, stimulated by World War II.
In the years after the war, the company continued to grow, expanding into Canada, and introducing new products such as metal-cutting machines and bench grinders, as well as increasing the capacity of its plant.
In 1992, the company kicked its product line into high gear, introducing a new line of portable electric power tools and related accessories aimed specifically at professionals.
DeWalt's line of tools was expanded greatly when over 30 other cordless tools were added to it, including such key equipment as drivers, screwdrivers, drills, wrenches, and saws.
Today, the lineup of DeWalt power tools consists of more than 200 electric tools and over 800 related accessories, all intended to help those in the woodworking and construction industries get their tasks done faster and better.
