Homelite was founded in 1921. Charles H. Ferguson
had a desire to create a small and lightweight
gasoline powered generator at his home. Homelite
was originally called the Home Electric Lighting
Company. Over the years, Homelite has offered
much to homeowners, including excellent outdoor
power equipment.
Some
of these outdoor equipments include string
trimmers, blowers, chain
saws, and hedge trimmers
for the consumer and do-it-yourselfer. Since
1928, homelite has been inventing items to help
the homeowner. 1928 marked it’s first self-priming
centrifugal pump and ventilating blower, both
powered by a two-cycle engine. 1946 brought the
first electric chainsaw – which is still
a popular seller today. 1963 improved on teh
chain saw with a new lightweight version weighing
only 12 pounds.
In 1978, homelite sold a million chain saws
in one year! It was truly a great time for the
small company that had grown so great over the
years.
1981 brought a gasoline powered blower and 1987
brought the string trimmer (or weedeater). 1992
brought a gas-powered pressure washer and the
growth continued even to today.
2003 brought New Emmissions technology and Homelite
has nothing but growth in its future.
As
we mentioned, Homelite carries many products.
One of the most popular is the Homelite chain
saw. There are several chain saws produced by
Homelite. There is the Bandit, the Ranger and
the Ranger CARB, the Timberman 18” and
the Timberman 20”.
Homelite’s
gas powered trimmers and chain saws offer quick
starting, durable working ability and the latest
in technology for your safety as well as environmental
concerns.
