DeWalt begins cordless tool production in U.S.

DeWalt says it expanded its product offerings built in the U.S. using global materials to include more than 600 different cordless power tools, hand tools and accessories.

“Our users are professional contractors and builders themselves. When given the option, most prefer to spend their money on a product that is built in the U.S.A. because it’s in line with what they do on a daily basis – building America,” DeWalt Professional Tools president Frank Mannarino said in a statement. “There’s a great deal of pride that goes into making things at home — we’re thrilled to bring some jobs back to the US and reconnect with our users.”

DeWalt says it began production of its first line of American-built cordless power tools in its Charlotte Manufacturing Operations facility in early October.
