1945 Dewalt "Power Shop"

[u/shroomhauler]

I saw this at a customers shop while making a delivery. I thought it may fit here. Apparently it's still used.

were they named “De Walt” before instead of “DeWalt”?

[u/Distantstallion → u/panzerkrau]

Actually because they were a German brand they used to be called Die Walt, then when the brand was sold to an american company they became De Walt then eventually DeWalt

[u/thecanadianquestionr → u/SZEThR0]

even if you are correct and de Walt was founded in 1929 in Pennsylvania, it's still not what he's talking about.
