BLACK+DECKER

BLACK+DECKER, founded by S. Duncan Black and Alonzo G. Decker in a Baltimore machine shop in 1910, has evolved significantly over the past century. The company launched the first portable electric drill in 1917, revolutionizing the power tool industry. Over the years, BLACK+DECKER expanded its innovations beyond tools to include the world's first cordless electric drill in 1961 and the groundbreaking dustbuster in 1979. The company has also been involved in historical milestones, such as providing a power drill for NASA's Apollo moon missions. Today, BLACK+DECKER continues to lead with a strong emphasis on practical, innovative solutions for home and garden.
