DEWALT has earned a reputation for designing, engineering and building tough industrial machinery. In 1923 Raymond DEWALT invented the radial arm saw that for decades continued to set the standard for quality and durability. It was the start of our long lasting reputation among professional craftsmen: tough, powerful, precise, rugged and reliable. These became the trademarks of the DEWALT name. Today these characteristics are incorporated through long experience and state-of-the-art engineering into every product of DEWALT's broad range of high performance, portable, electric power tools and accessories.
