What is the History of Fein?
In 1867, Wilhelm Emil Fein founded a company to manufacture physical and electrical apparatus. His son, Emil Fein, invented the first electric hand drill in 1895, barely 30 years later. With this invention, he laid the foundation for the reliable power tools they continue to manufacture in Germany, for which this tradition-rich company is respected worldwide in trade and industry.
