The Mall Tool Co. was founded in 1921 by Arthur W. Mall  in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. A year later he relocated the business to Chicago. The company became very successful, employing over 2,000 people making power drills, circular saws, chainsaws, and other handheld products.
In 1956, Mall Tool Co. was acquired by Remington Arms Corp. and renamed the Remington Power Tool Division. Remington was reportedly only interested in the chainsaw portion of the business. By 1969 Remington was in some financial difficulty and the tool division was acquired by a small conglomerate, Desa Industries, that specialized in distressed businesses. The Remington line of chainsaws continued to sell well, many of them through Montgomery Ward and John Deere. In 1970 the line of air tools were sold to Colt Industries. In 1975 the remnants of Mall were acquired by AMCA International Corp., which organized it as the DESA Industries Division. It appears that the Mall power tools and stationary machines were long gone by then.
Dear Buyer, Ebay’s new mandate is that all Buy It Now listings will now be GTC (Good Till Cancelled). This means that Ebay will relist all non-auction listings automatically, unless of course they sell. You can see how this makes Ebay a nice profit. In order to avoid an automatic listing and its fee, I will be ending listings early, from a few hours to a day. If you want to buy an item, you might want to buy it before I remove it. Thank you for your understanding. Another mandate is that all listings have a Best Offer.
