Corporate Summary

In 1924, the DeWalt Products Company was formed in Pennsylvania. The company rapidly expanded in the 1940’s and eventually went international in 1953 (to Canada).

On December 20, 2007, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall of an estimated 346,000 DEWALT cordless drills because the recalled drills have a trigger switch that can overheat, posing a fire and burn hazard to consumers.
