history
In 1867, Wilhelm Emil Fein and his brother Carl founded a “mechanical workshop” in Stuttgart - the C. & E. Fein company. The company's first products were medical induction devices from 1873 . In 1875 Wilhelm Emil Fein invented the first electric fire alarm. At the festive event for the 25th company anniversary in the Liederhalle culture and congress center , the completion of the 1000th dynamo machine from our own production was also celebrated. In 1879 the city of Stuttgart had a fire alarm system developed by the Fein company installed, which consisted of a total of nine speech stations (Morse code telegraph) and 50 reporting stations (fire alarms), as well as several telephones. Other cities with fire alarm systems from Fein were (year of installation in brackets): Nuremberg (1878), Gotha (1881), Ludwigsburg (1881), Frankfurt (Oder) (1882), Worms (1883), Regensburg (1887), Eßlingen am Neckar (1891), Bayreuth (1891), Karlsruhe (1892), Schwerin (1894) and Kempten (1894). In 1885, the company developed the first portable telephone that was used for military purposes. In 1895, Fein invented the world's first electric hand drill , which is considered the forerunner of power tools. In 1892, the then Duchess of Württemberg, Wera Konstantinowna Romanowa (1854–1912) , enabled Wilhelm Emil Fein to install a telegraphic transmission system with which an opera performance could be transmitted to her apartment. The first "drilling machine with electro-pneumatic hammer mechanism" was built by Fein in 1914 and a patent has been applied for. In 1927 Fein developed the first tin snips and the first jigsaw .
In the 1950s , a handy little drill called " Fein-Zwerg " helped to increase its popularity.
The first power tool with oscillation technology came onto the market in 1967, at that time as a plaster bandage saw ( oscillating saw ). In 1985 the company's first cordless screwdriver appeared. In 1987, the QuickIN fine quick-release system made using angle grinders considerably safer. Tool of the year 2001 was the fine angle grinder WSB 20-180 / 230. A federal award for the Mammut angle wrench followed in 2002 . The TipStart system with the Fein Evo's light guide changed the operating concept of angle grinders , but was unable to establish itself on the market due to the switchless operation, which is unusual for professional users. In 2007 the company presented a MultiMaster generation with QuickIN and better handling. In 2011, Fein presented the first hand-guided core drilling system for metal, the KBH 25.
