Abstract
IN 1910, S. DUNCAN BLACK AND ALONZO G. DECKER INVENTED THE PISTOL grip, trigger‐operated power drill that helped make Black & Decker synonymous with do‐it‐yourself home improvement. The company was such a pervasive powerhouse here and abroad that the English and Germans spoke of “Black & Deckering” their homes.
