BLACK+DECKER began in 1910 when S. Duncan Black and Alonzo G. Decker opened a machine shop in Baltimore. Early machinery work led to a 1917 patent application for a portable electric drill with the pistol grip and trigger switch familiar on modern tools.

The company expanded power tools beyond factories and workshops, introducing electric outdoor equipment for household users in 1957 and a cordless drill in 1961. BLACK+DECKER engineering also contributed the power head used to collect lunar core samples during the Apollo programme.

Today's range includes DIY drills, saws, sanders, garden tools, cleaning equipment, workbenches and household appliances. Battery platform, duty level, capacity and accessory compatibility help distinguish consumer project tools from the group's separate professional ranges.

Power-Hub carries BLACK+DECKER across DIY power-tool, garden and household categories. The live ranking below shows the strongest parts of the current selection, followed by five featured products available through the store.
