Marsh Power Tools is Detroit's leading distributor of portable power tools, woodworking machinery, and accessories. Founded in 1932 by its namesake Richard Marsh as a magneto repair business on Grand River Ave. In Detroit, the company spent its first 40 years primarily as a service facility. In 1973, Ralph Pedersen, formerly a Stanley Power Tool Factory representative, purchased the business and changed the focus to power tool sales. Under his leadership the company grew rapidly into a bustling state-of-the-art wholesale/retail sales and service entity. After Ralph's early passing, in July 1985, brothers Ron and Chris Pedersen along with brother-in- law Brady Kalem took command.
Located in Livonia. Michigan for the last 25 years, we have one of the largest showrooms in Metro Detroit. We just finished renovating our new showroom and have even more machines and tools on display. Sales personnel are readily available and eager to answer questions whether in person or over the phone. Service is an important part of our company, offering 3 full-time inside factory trained repair technicians and one outside service man.
We have expanded to a second location on Grand River Ave. just two miles west of 1-96 in Brighton. Run by our partner Mark Streicher, this large facility offers an unique mix of power tools, machinery and out door power equipment.
