Black + Decker Power Tools

Black + Decker is a historic American manufacturer of power tools, hardware, and home improvement products. Founded in 1910 by S. Duncan Black and Alonzo G. Decker, the company became renowned for inventing the portable electric drill. Over the decades, it expanded its portfolio to include a wide range of consumer electronics and garden outdoor equipment.

Today, Black + Decker is a key brand under the Stanley Black & Decker umbrella, a global conglomerate formed by the merger of Stanley Works and Black & Decker in 2010. While the brand maintains deep roots in the United States, its manufacturing operations are globally distributed across various regions including China, Mexico, the United States, and Europe to serve international markets efficiently.

As of 2024 and looking toward 2026, Stanley Black & Decker remains the ultimate owner. The company continues to invest in cordless technology and smart home ecosystems, solidifying its position as a household name in both the DIY and professional tool sectors.
