Raymond
DeWalt, founder of dewalt
tools, was
looking for a way to get more efficiency from
the men working form him when he came up with
the idea for the first radial arm saw. Soon
after he developed the saw, he left his job
as superintendent of a mill and began his own
company to build the saws and other power tools.
In 1992, the company introduced its first line
of portable
power tools. This line included several
models of dewalt drills. Today there are several
models of corded drills, right angle drills and
cordless drills in the line. These portable power
tools are high quality and ruggedly built to
meet the demands of residential contractors,
remodelers and professional woodworkers. The
yellow DeWalt logo has become a symbol of professionalism.
Genuine
Dewalt Parts Are Available For Most Tools
Dewalt
parts are available through DeWalt service
centers or online through the DeWalt serviceNet.
The service center handles genuine DeWalt parts
for most of the tools that have been produced
by the company. In addition to the parts, the
company also provides service manuals and makes
videos available showing the proper way to
repair and tune DeWalt tools.
In 1994, the company launched its line
of over 30 cordless power tools. These tools are powered
by heavy duty rechargeable dewalt batteries.
The batteries are 18 volt and 24 volt, giving
the tools long life between chargings. The battery
powered motors drive the tools with all of the
power of the corded tools. The advantages of
these cordless tools is readily apparent. The
user does not have to drag around a heavy cord
or work close to an electrical outlet or generator.
The
company has come a long way since the days
of Raymond DeWalt. Today the company makes
more than 200 different power tools and nearly
1,000 accessories. These tools
include saws,
drills, hammer drills, power screw drivers,
bench grinders, planers, reciprocating saws
and many more tools used by woodworkers. The
one thing that has not changed since its beginnings
is the company’s
dedication to gaining labor saving efficiency
with each of its dewalt
tools.
