BLACK+DECKER opened as a Baltimore machine shop in September 1910, founded by S. Duncan Black and Alonzo G. Decker. Its early patent on a pistol grip with a trigger switch set the shape every drill still copies, and the company built cordless tools for NASA that collected samples on the Moon. Headquarters sit in Towson, Maryland, and the brand has belonged to Stanley Black & Decker since 2010, positioned squarely at home users rather than crews.
The practical hook is 20V MAX POWERCONNECT: one battery runs the drill, the string trimmer, the hand vacuum and the sander, so a household grows a tool set instead of a battery collection. Kits with drill, battery, charger and 80 or so accessories routinely land under 100 dollars. Warranty is two years limited, shorter than professional lines, and the lighter gearboxes and plastic chucks show up fast under all-day loads.
