    THE DEWALT STORY:
    100 YEARS OF INNOVATION

    Our hundred-year story started with one man: Raymond DeWalt, inventor, machine shop educator, innovator and entrepreneur – the original pro. To mark our centenary, we invited historians into our company archives to help us tell his story and ours. Here are some of the highlights.
