In 1996 DDM Power Tools set out to improve and manufacture a single power tool and make it the best on the market.  Great value, great quality, and great price is what we kept concentrating on.  After 2-3 years we felt we had achieved our goal when in fact we were far from finished.  Over the next 10 years our material and manufacturing techniques changed as we received more and more feedback from our customers.  We kept listening and eventually we felt our Deck Crawler was the best on the market and that it was the best quality, best value and best price.  The Deck Crawler or Deck Scarifier was our first tool and the one that generated excitement and the desire to develop other new attachments that were needed in the decking/surface preparation industry.

 

I had a meeting with a major air tool manufacturer in 2001 while we were still working on the Deck Crawler.  I asked him if he had thought much about lead abatement and vacuum needle scalers as a good choice for most abatement applications.  He had been thinking about it and asked DDM to design one.  We did and within a year we were in production.  Vacuum needle scalers have expanded to include backpack HEPA vacuum cleaners and electric vacuum needle scalers.  Google "vacuum needle scalers", click on Images, and see how many other

companies have jumped on board. 

 

Please take a look around our site and notice all of the additional industry information we have made available.  If you have any questions you can easily contact me at rgross@ddmpowertools.com.  I look forward to it.
