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 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.
