That origin statement applies to the kit; it does not establish that each tool was individually made in the United States. DEWALT separately identified the DCS367 as made in the USA with global materials in a 2017 announcement, but that dated statement does not verify the origin of every current production run.
What “made in the USA with global materials” establishes
The DCK494P2 listing identifies a four-tool kit and describes the kit as “Made In The USA with Global Materials.” That is useful evidence for the specific kit, but it should not be expanded into a separate U.S.-origin claim for each component. “With global materials” also does not mean that every material or component is American-made. Check the current package or product listing for the exact SKU when origin is a deciding factor.

The clearest tool-specific evidence in the available product information is for the DCS367 compact reciprocating saw. DEWALT Industrial Tool Co.’s February 1, 2017 announcement explicitly said that model “is Made in the USA with Global Materials.” This supports the stated origin for that model in the announcement, not a guarantee about all later production runs or related SKUs.
The four tools in the DCK494P2 kit
| Tool | What it does | Details in the cited listing or announcement | U.S.-origin evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCD996 hammer drill | Drilling, including hammer-drilling work. | Identified as the kit’s hammer drill in the DCK494P2 listing. | The listing’s origin statement is for the kit, not an individual origin claim for this tool. |
| DCF887 impact driver | Fastening work; it complements the drill by focusing on driving fasteners. | The listing notes a brushless motor and three speed settings. | The listing’s origin statement is for the kit, not an individual origin claim for this tool. |
| DCS367 compact reciprocating saw | Cutting for tasks such as plumbing and demolition. | DEWALT’s 2017 announcement describes a 14.5-inch body, keyless four-position blade clamp, variable-speed trigger and LED. | DEWALT’s February 1, 2017 announcement explicitly calls the DCS367 made in the USA with global materials. |
| DCL040 work light | Portable task lighting. | The kit listing identifies it as an LED work light rated at 110 lumens. | The available listing identifies it as part of the kit but does not independently establish its country of origin. |
The DCK494P2 listing also specifies two 5 Ah batteries, a charger and a contractor bag. Confirm the contents on the exact current listing before purchasing, especially when comparing a complete kit with tool-only packaging.

How to assess the “still” claim
“Still” implies that manufacturing origin has remained unchanged over time. The cited material does not establish that for every current production run. The DCS367 origin statement comes from DEWALT’s 2017 announcement, while the DCK494P2 listing supports a kit-level statement. Neither is a blanket, current guarantee for every individual tool or SKU.
DEWALT Support’s October 11, 2022 article, “Can I see a list of DEWALT Built in USA products?”, directs readers to the company’s U.S.-made-with-global-materials product information. A February 16, 2024 comment on that support article says the list omitted the DCS367P1. That comment indicates a possible discovery gap; it does not independently verify the commenter’s origin claim or establish the list’s completeness.
Rank #2
- Ergonomically Designed: Work in tight areas with a compact design that gets into tough spots
- Compact and Lightweight: Both tools are designed to fit into difficult to reach spaces. The 1/4" impact driver has a length of 5.55 in. and weighs just 2.8 lbs, while the 1/2" drill/driver measures only 7.5 in. and weighs 3.6 lbs
- Both the DEWALT impact driver and electric drill driver feature integrated LED work lights with a convenient 20-second delay, ensuring enhanced visibility in dimly lit or challenging work areas

- Power drill cordless with 1/2" single sleeve ratcheting chuck provides tight bit gripping strength, making bit changes faster and more secure
For a specific purchase, match the exact model number and packaging to current manufacturer information. Do not assume that a kit-level claim covers every component, or that a related SKU shares the origin statement for the DCS367.
Company manufacturing figures are historical
In its February 1, 2017 announcement, DEWALT reported that the company produced approximately 62 million individual power tools, hand tools and accessories in the United States with global materials in 2015, and that it had seven U.S. manufacturing locations. These are company-reported historical figures, not current production totals or proof of where any particular tool in the DCK494P2 was made.
