Abhilasha Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 I was wondering if anyone knows what is happeing to dewalt tools. I have noticed that Home, at least by me, no longer carry the variety of dewalt tools as they did a couple of months ago. Are they going out of business or something.

kjones Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 I am assuming that you meant Home Depot? No, DeWALT is not going out of business. DeWALT has far greater market share than any other maker nation wide (about 60 to 65% in cordless for example). The Home Depot situation is a long story that has been explained many times, so I will not get into all of the details here, but the gist of it is that the Home Depot wants DeWALT to sign an exclusive agreement (like the other brands that are sold there) but DeWALT will not do it. Also keep in mind that even though Home Depot is one of the two largest distributors, the far majority of tools sold in the US are sold through smaller local stores, which by and large is where DeWALT really thrives.

MrDewalt Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 I too , believe that Home Depot and the UK counterpart B&Q try to seal deals with these company's and buy in at stupid reduced prices for sole distribution. I say.. LONG LIVE the PROPER tool shop that sells all makes. Let the people speak by buying, not have a store brand made by some other company to benefit themselves. From the UK, I hope Home Depot suffer for trying to rule the market place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
