Dewalt Tools Review
Dewalt is a very famous brand of power tools and construction product that are known worldwide. The company was founded by a man named Raymond E. Dewalt in 1924. The company grew in popularity partly because of his invention, the radial arm saw.
When most people think of power tools, it is hard for the Dewalt brand not to come to mind, and for good reason.
At the time of this writing, the current Dewalt tools lineup consists of over 200 electric power tools and over 800 accessories. In other words, if there is a job you need done, Dewalt has a tool for the job.
I have found all Dewalt tools that I own to be of very good quality. I am especially fond of their cordless drills. There has not been a time yet that when I needed a tool and picked up a Dewalt that it has failed me yet. If one of my Dewalt tools ever does fail on me, I know that I can find the parts I need to repair my tools fairly easily at a reasonable price.
After browsing the web, I came across a lot of postings made by people who were concerned about the price of Dewalt products. My personal opinion is that the Dewalt tools are worth the price. But, that is just my personal opinion. I am not a contractor and I do not depend on my tools to make a living either. So, as always, your mileage may vary. I can say that I have not had a home project yet that my Dewalt tools couldn't handle.
No matter if you are looking for a new table saw or cordless drill, I recommend you give the Dewalt lineup a look. Just as I always say, do your research and compare reviews and prices on the specific item you are shopping for. This will ensure you are completely satisfied with your purchase and maximized your savings as well.

A Brief History of DeWalt Power Tools
From the time he was a child Raymond E DeWalt watched and learned from his father the intricacies of woodworking and complex construction. Upon leaving school as an adolescent, he continued to follow this path and earned his keep at mills and construction sites as jobs were available. The young DeWalt though, also learned from his father that a life in mill-work was difficult one, and in order to simplify his own life and to capitalize on both the physical and economical expenses of hard labor, he used the advantages of his youth and experience to continually refine and enhance the machines around him to meet the certain needs and specifications of different jobsites.
DeWalt's ingenuity and expertise in the field were largely and always evident and soon he was offered a position as the head of a major woodworking mill that manufactured nearly everything from the simple six-panel box to the modern, complex home. As fate would have it, DeWalt's mill had more work than it could handle and as the President of the company allowed no budget space for additional labor costs, DeWalt simply had to get more efficient production from the existing force. DeWalt was forced into a jam and emerged with the first working model of what we know today as the radial arm saw.
Designing a yoke which attached directly to a saw and motor, and mounting this mechanism to a standard arm, DeWalt's machine could be raised and lowered, could slide back and forth, and could tilt to any bevel; as a result, DeWalt generated the work of four men with this machine, he reduced production costs, and completely enhanced overall productivity in the process. By 1922, and as Superintendent of Seabrook Farms, DeWalt perfected his radial arm machine and forever altered the woodworking, crafting, and building industries.
Just two years later in 1924 DeWalt formed the DeWalt Products Company and purchased a plant and office building in Leola, Pennsylvania where he marketed the "Wonder-Worker," the electrical, universal woodworking machine he'd developed at Seabrook Farms. In 1929 Dewalt Products Company upgraded their facilities with a new and modern plant and office building in Lancaster, PA where after adding 40,000 square feet of manufacturing space, an 8,400 square foot showroom, and a 16,000 square foot warehouse, they still remain today. In 1947, DeWalt Products Company completely reorganized and reincorporated itself under DeWalt Inc. Later, only further augmenting their enterprise, DeWalt Inc. extended its operations to Canada and acquired the United States and Canadian patent rights to the Bennett Two-Way Panel Saw.
In the spirit of DeWalt's first radial arm saw, 1967 crashed another wave upon the shores of the tooling community as DeWalt introduced the bench grinder and soon followed this introduction with that of intense metal cutting machines for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. In 1992, DeWalt introduced their first line of portable electric power tools and accessories especially designed for professional commercial and residential workers. In 1994, only two years later, DeWalt broke ground once more with the release of their new cordless power tool system which included over 30 extreme power tools. Among them, a 14.4V cordless drill/driver, which was, at the time, the most powerful cordless tool on the market, and the first ever drill/driver/hammerdrill combination tool. Allowing crafters to work with far greater productivity and to build with a high-performance power tool, the system took construction to a wholly new level.
By 2001 the DeWalt Inc. enterprise included over 200 electric power tools and over 800 accessories to enhance them. Today, after more than nine decades of innovation in the woodworking and power tool industries, DeWalt continues to propel the community to new heights. Accordingly, DeWalt remains one of the most trusted and high-performance brands in the industry.
