Black and Decker


Black & Decker Corporation is a corporation based in Towson, Maryland, United States, that designs and imports power tools and accessories, hardware and home improvement products, and technology based fastening systems.

It was founded in 1910 by S. Duncan Black and Alonzo G. Decker as a small machine shop in Maryland. In 1917, Black & Decker invented the familiar portable electric drill, obtaining a patent for a hand-held drill combining a pistol grip and trigger switch.

Black & Decker branded household products are marketed in the Americas (but outside of Brazil) by a division of Applica, a Florida-based corporation much smaller than Black & Decker Corporation.

Some of the major household products manufactured under the brand name include electrical appliances (electric iron) and toaster ovens.
