For almost 80 years, 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. The yellow/black color scheme is a trademark for DEWALT Power Tools and Accessories.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. The acceptance of these DEWALT products by professional tradesmen around the world has made DEWALT the number one selling brand of professional power tools in North America today, and the fastest growing professional power tool brand in the world for the last five years.
