Who actually makes DeWalt products?
CPSC names Stanley Black & Decker as manufacturer of the affected 21-inch battery mowers. In the flap-disc notice, DEWALT Industrial Tool Company is the importer; the underlying Turkish factory is not named. Those roles should not be silently combined. [3][4]
Where are DeWalt products made?
DeWalt’s 2015 release documents its expansion into a Greenfield plant and explicitly qualifies US production as using global materials. It is historical evidence, not proof that all seven plants mentioned then remain active in 2026. The newer notices establish Chinese and Turkish origins for specific products. [2][3][4]
Is DeWalt made in China or the USA?
Yes, DeWalt has China-made products: the affected 2024-model-year battery mowers were manufactured in China. DeWalt also documented US manufacturing using global materials; neither example supports one origin for every yellow tool. [2][3]
Same factory, different label
Craftsman and DeWalt share Stanley Black & Decker ownership. The annual report groups their tool and outdoor businesses, but does not prove that any particular pair of tools shares a factory or is the same product with a different label. [1]
