Our History

Drill America History

Drill America was originally founded in New York City in the early 1900s by our great uncle, Samuel DeWitt. In 1948 our father, Jack Barnett, began running the New York location. From that first New York store, the business has expanded across the United States into a national brand. Pictured below is Jack Barnett in front of DeWitt Tool Co at the old store in SoHo.

Drill America Today

Drill America is family owned and operated by Jack’s three sons President Marc Barnett (center) and Vice Presidents Richard (right), and Elliot Barnett (left). The three brothers have over 100 years of experience in the industry.
