History of DeWalt Power Tools

DeWalt is a world-leading American tool manufacturer that originated in 1924 under the name “DeWalt Products Company” in Leola, Pennsylvania, in the United States. The company was founded by Raymond E. DeWalt, who worked in plants and construction and wanted to reduce the costs of labour whilst increasing productivity and versatility. This led to the creation of the first radial-arm machine for woodworking in 1922. In 1924, when the company was formed, the electric woodworking machine the company created became known as the “Wonder Worker”. In 1941, to meet wartime machinery efforts and the demands of the U.S.A.'s national defence, the company began expanding rapidly. In 1947, the company re-branded and reincorporated as DeWalt Inc and was later acquired by American Machine Foundry in 1949 and later extended operations to Canada in 1953, which was known as DeWalt Canada Ltd. In 1955, the company increased its manufacturing space to meet the growing demands of consumers and was sold to Black & Decker in 1960. In 1992, DeWalt introduced its very first line of portable electric power tools and accessories, which was later followed by the launch of 30 new cordless tools in 1994. Since then, DeWalt has grown exponentially, currently holding 64 manufacturing facilities all across the United States. As of 2001, DeWalt had created more than 200 different power tools and 800 accessories.

FAQs

What is the difference between DeWalt’s XR and FLEXVOLT technologies?

Both are impressive, high-performance battery platforms, but they serve slightly different needs. The DeWalt 18V XR range is designed for efficiency, giving standard professional power tools longer runtime and faster charge times. FLEXVOLT is a revolutionary dual-voltage battery system that automatically switches between 54V and 18V. This allows a FLEXVOLT battery to deliver the raw power of a corded tool to heavy-duty 54V equipment whilst remaining fully backward compatible with your 18V XR tools to give them a massive boost in runtime.

Are DeWalt 18V XR and 20V MAX batteries the same?

Yes, they are fundamentally the exact same battery platform. The distinction is simply regional branding. In North America, the platform is marketed as "20V MAX" (referring to the maximum initial battery voltage without a workload), whereas in Europe and the UK, it is accurately branded as "18V XR" (referring to the nominal voltage).  

What warranty comes with DeWalt power tools?

When you purchase a DeWalt power tool from an authorised seller like Toolden, you receive a standard 1-year guarantee. However, you can easily upgrade this to a 3-Year Extended Warranty on the majority of power tools by registering your purchase on the MyDeWalt online portal within 28 days of buying. (Please note: Certain items like batteries, chargers, and specific nailers are excluded from the extended warranty).

Can I use DeWalt power tools for professional, daily trade use?

Absolutely. DeWalt is globally renowned as one of the premier brands for tradespeople, builders, and construction workers. Built to be "Guaranteed Tough," their tools are rigorously tested on real jobsites to ensure they can withstand the demands of heavy, daily professional use.
