- Popular Tool Brands Who Makes What Tools and Who Owns What Tool Company. Many popular tool brands have made big names for themselves, are they more than just a brand? Is your favorite tool brand or product line actually a company or even more, do they actually manufacture tools or just outsource them? In this video, we will explain if your brand is a company or tool manufacture while doing a toolbox tour and putting away many of the common tools you may have around your house, work, job site or see while frequenting your favorite home improvement stores.
We may go a little deeper on some Brands and Companies or all if they are all three with some back history on buyouts or mergers. Many things can happen from year to year and a company can change hands during acquisitions, mergers, spin-offs, or worse move all manufacturing overseas or completely close all operations like Shop-Vac did this year in 2020.
This information was current and up to date when it was published to the best of my knowledge on November 3rd, 2020.
Please note that this video is not a full list of tool brands and tool companies, but rather what I can recall and have available. It is a pretty high level and I have not researched Security and Company filings or quarter/yearly tax reports. This highlights tool brands for construction, industrial, DIY use with a focus mainly on hand tools and some power tool brand makers.
To help you sort things out the following list may help identify the most popular tool brands I mention in the video. The companies that own or are affiliated with them and if they are a brand, company, or a tool manufacturer. The line can be kind of blurry with acquisitions and buyouts as the actual manufacturing begins to be consolidated or support multiple different brands and product lines.
Here is the list of the Tool Brands, Tool Companies, and Tool Manufacturers:
Stanley Black & Decker (including Mac Tools, Proto, Stanley, Dewalt, Craftsman, Irwin, Porter Cable, Facom, Vise-Grip )

Since i see an Astro long ratchet @12:15 but you don't mention Astro, I can fill that in based on the categories you've created. We're a company and a brand headquartered in the Los Angeles area with an international headquarters in Taiwan, 3rd generation US family owned sine the 1970's. When it comes to the number of different tools we make, the majority can be found under other brands be private label for - yet we also make under our own Astro brand as well. Our highest volume item, the 400E, is made next door here in LA which is our invention, patent and tooling machinery. The rest of the products we make are largely made from outside factories we've had relationships with for 10-30 years which include our patents, exclusives, exclusives & patent exclusives we have, designs we make from drawings in house here, designs we re-work for our brand or other brands and off the shelf items factories have made that we want to carry, these include COO's such as Taiwan, USA, China, Japan, England and Italy.
I must have accidentally cut out that footage when shortening the video because I had every intention of mentioning Astro Tools as a Brand, Company and Manufacture of pretty cool tools. That ratchet you mentioned is Astro Tools item 93812 Nano Ratchet - 3/8" Drive in a 1/4" body that is nearly 12 inches long.
Thank you for commenting and mentioning Astro Tools www.astrotools.com
wow really cool to see a company rep engaging with the community on youtube. I'm an auto tech and the only astro tools I have are a digital air chuck and a set of terminal release tools but they're both great. the air chuck is easily my most used tool as I set tire pressures on every car I work on
Great video Chris. Don't forget that Klein Tools is another monolith of tool manufacturing. They own 11 smaller companies most of them are small manufactures that most people have never heard of, but one company that I know they own is " UEi " , that's important because UEi manufactures multimeters. UEi makes about 1/4 of all multimeters on the market, they rebrand multimeters for everyone from Klein (of course), Mac Tools, Craftsman, Southwire and several others. . .. . Also there are about 15 companies/brands that buy their screwdriver shafts from Klein (but they all stick their own handle on it).
klein has a great tiktok page where they show how their stuff is made among other things.
For what it's worth I bought a Klein multimeter that was hooped straight out of the box, fluke is all I will use.
For some reason Americans seem to forget Brirool is part of the mac tools (EXPERT TOOLS) ASWELL AS FACOM so please remember Britool was Snap-on british main competitors in england .👍🏻
I know about the Facom Group through Stanley Black & Decker and MAC tools but don't see much of the Expert line of tools. I think I might have one wrench, but since the brand isn't marketed or easily available most Americans will never know or even seek out this brand due to many other products more easily available and price competitive.
"Are you, or someone you love addicted to buying tools? Do you have multiples of the exact same items, but in differing brands? You're not alone and there's help for you. Please call my house and I'll give you the address to drop off the excess"...
I feel like his neighbors come to ask for screwdriver and he says which kind/name
First question is usually what are you attempting to working on? Followed by which big box or hardware store has the best deal. And the last and final response is thanks now I know what to get you for Christmas😂
@@ClientGraphics speaking of screwdeivers.
Check out vessel impact jis screwdrivers
Good film, Client. A lot has changed over the past 100 plus years in tool manufacturing. A lot of people hang on to what used to be, but things will never be that way again. To keep myself sane within the tool world I primarily use NAPA as my “tool truck” with Tekton a close second behind it.
Thanks Donald. I haven’t personally had an issue with either Tekton or Carlyle. Even the cheap evercraft as Napa can work for some.
@@ClientGraphics I understand, My Friend. I have more a concern on repairing an owner’s vehicle, and of course my own vehicles, correctly than of having a particular name of tool in my hands. I like the convenience of my local NAPA and the customer service Tekton gives. I don’t have any complaints about the Carlyle, some Evercraft, and some Tekton tools that I own either. I’m still in the process of consolidating my smattering of tools down to just NAPA and Tekton, it will take some time though.
OEM Tools is a brand under Great Neck Saw company that is both a reseller and a manufacturer on the saw type tool side. Blackhawk was also part of the Litton Industries tool group that had been New Britain Machine Company. When they went under Stanley bought the names and put the Blackhawk name back out.
Thanks Jim. I couldn’t recall if Great Neck Saw had manufacturing under it umbrella or if it just outsourced to other companies like Titan Tools. Titan tools is just a brand company and one rebrander with no manufacturing under them.
@@ClientGraphics Seems odd these days but still make tools at their Long Island New York headquarters
I hate situation where tools have only different names and they look identical and some of them cost much more then another, due to what brand is written on them...
Apex Tool Group makes a ton of different brand and also outsources for a lot of their “house” brands. Craftsman when moved to Asia was made by Apex Tool Group up until the SBD purchase, same with some Husky, Kobalt and several others. ATG is actually the largest socket manufacturer in the world. The TEQ & Napa brand and one other major national auto parts store brand are all almost solely made by ATG.
Very well made video very well thought out Chris good work
Thanks Antonio ✌️
Crazy to see all the re-branded stuff made by only a few manufacturers. And many suckers out there buy the more expensive stuff just because the packaging or the final polish of the tool looks better.
Why you do a bunch of research like I do before I buy anything
I have used proto tools a lot. Very impressed with quality
That Icon box looks sick. That's the dream set up. Or at least something along those lines. Right now I have a small 5 drawer Husky box, and a tiny HyperTough 2 drawer box with a little clamshell lid on it. It gets the job done. Though I wanna get the matching box that goes with my Husky 5 drawer
Cool video Chris. Lots of good information
Thanks for checking out the video Maintenance man
Great video. I wouldn’t mind a deep history video of some of the biggest brands and manufacturers
Maybe some day of a few of the companies. I would have to make sure I have some old and new tools for different year talking points. Picture just wouldn’t do it for me, I’d have to use it as an excuse to acquire more tools🤣
@Chad Wilkins I’ve watched his. They are good. ClientGraphics has a different style though. I’d watch his too. They kind of focus on different things.
A common theme here : good tool company gets bought by Stanley BD and goes to absolute crap
Same could probably be said if Apex Tool Group buys a company.
SB&D... definitely makes them better... most of the time at a lot of these companies if they're not bought up, will go under and a lot of people will be out of a job
Stanleys professional line is pretty damn Good better than most other competitors. Also stanley is a brand a tool maker and company that buys out other companys. btw snap on tools is mostly owned by stanley since 2017 you keep forgetting to mention that.
I appreciate this video!! I’ve always wondered!👊🏿
Thanks Vermillion for watching and commenting
@@ClientGraphics of course! I’ve been watching for months now!!
That's a sick tool collection
Great informative video chris
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for this awesome video … I am smarter now 👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻
In my shop I try to make sure I have 2 of every size combination wrench. Thats for those time you need 2 open end wrenches at the same time to loosen something.
I bought Napa brand ratchet in a pinch and the handle came off the first time I used it and had to epoxy it back on to get the job done. Handle doesn’t go to the end of the handle. It flexes if you actually use the end of the handle. It only goes about half into the handle. So this tool actually cost me money to use.
I said this somewhere else. Some day someone will figure out that all tools are made by one ultimate global company under all the different brand names we know and love. 😉 😁
Thanks for the Vidoe
Cool video! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Ryobi actually was a company manufacturer and supplier and brand back when they started same with ridgid funny thing is rigid is also a license deal with tti rigid is actually owned by Emerson electronic company
Ya blue Ryobi and red rigid
In general you were correct about company vs brand vs manufacturer. However many brands and companies use different mfrs. Channelocks doesn't make ratchets or adjustable wrenches like you said. Western Forge made pliers, screw drivers, files etc. for Husky, Craftsman and others. Estwing makes hammers but not the chisels they sell. Good job overall and enjoying the videos.
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Good job on this vid. I'll bet it took awhile to prep for...voice-over probably the only way to do such an information intensive subject. Most tools are just rebrands these days it seems, but that generally isn't a negative in most cases. Snap-On also sells some rebranded tools - in their case it is a negative though because you have to pay the Snap-On tax. That Hyper-Tough pry bar from Walmart (Wilde) is a perfect example of a great tool at a budget price. Wilde makes a great pry bar that is rebranded by several companies, with the only difference being the signature color of the handle.
You can add Bostitch to Stanley, BluePoint and Williams to SnapOn.
S•K is top tier
Not anymore
All them trays are taking up so much space socket rails will help maximize that space as well as other organizers
Yes they do
@@ClientGraphics huh
When I was a kid, before I bought my first set of tools, all of my friends tools were S-K that they bought at the local auto parts stores. This was before all the parts stores were 'branded.' Each one was independently owned and operated and they stood behind their products. The S-Ks almost always came in sets, in small, green metal, boxes. I never really liked the "tinny" sound that the ratchets made, but gotta admit none of my friends ever managed to break one. The first tools I bought were Craftsman (the old USA stuff. Really high quality, decent pricing, still got most of them), and liked the ratchets much better. But I went on eBay recently to see if I could acquire an S-K set like my friends used to have, just for nostalgic reasons, and wouldn't you know it? Those little sets with the same "tinny" ratchets are going for big money. Damn! Should've got one when they were cheap.
ClientGraphics.. Cool video. Very interesting information. Thanks for sharing it.
Thanks for watching. I tried to get a tool box tour with some educational brand and tool manufacturer information with a dash of history. Now I need to put in my new toolbox drawers and reorganize!
@@ClientGraphics Your videos are always awesome. Very nice editing.
Appreciate it👌🏻
Btw i have to come over and reorganize your tool boxes...that setup would drive me nuts lol
But seriously great video
That is not how it's going to be organized. It's just hanging out until I can get the new drawers installed to go from 8 to 7 and get rid of two of the smaller ones on both the side cab and 36" part.
TEQ is a brand at Advance Auto Parts, they use to carry Gearwrench, they still have a few Gearwrench products like socket sets that I got for a very good deal, but now they have their own brand of tools which is TEQ
Milwaukee is not a standalone company. It is a brand and subsidiary of Techtronic Industries, a Chinese company, along with AEG, Ryobi, Hoover, Dirt Devil, and Vax.
Milwaukee Tool and Electric Company is a subsidiary of TTI but they are definitely incorporated and legally a separate entity which is company enough for me.
However, Ryobi power tools are just a license deal as it’s owned by the Kyocera Corporation. AEG is also a license deal for TTI to manufacture as it is owned by AEG Elektrowerkzeude.
Hart actually used to manufacture some of the best hammers
Ryobi is a bigger manufacturer than one may know (of machinery)
Forgot about Cornwell & OTC(BOSCH)
As far as scan tools, all of the Chinese brands are the same...Really
The list could go on and on;
Great video, keep them coming
Matco makes their toolboxes,this is all they make.The Channellock v groove combination wrenches,made by Infar whom makes the Napa Carlyle wrenches as well.Both look the same but stamped differently.Integra makes the Channellock adjustable wrenches
I thought IREGA in Spain was the manufacturer for the Channellock adjustable wrenches.
And I seem to recall that some of the ICON wrenches might be made by Infar and the ratcheting wrenches possibly Hi-Five
It is Irega
Hey where did you get the Capri ratcheting wrenches?
My last set of Snap-on 4pc adjustable wrench set that i bought were made in Spain!!!
Carlyle tools rebranded , matco/apex
Don't forget Bosch owns dremel
Worker told me in lowes....craftsman power tools now are porte cable
Dude Craftsman were made for Sears "Craftsman" by Stanley Works, so Stanley just bought the brand they had been making all along. Now for the quality............
How do you get stuff done when you stand in front of your tool collection and agonise all day long about what wrench to use?
Hey, slightly off topic but, what are the inside measurements of the drawers on your ICON 36 inch rollaway?
Length 30 1/4” and width 22” But thats not measuring the lip or edges so take a 1/4” of both should you want to make a foam insert or customizable insert.
US General is a brand, tool, and manufacturer. At least they used to be a manufacturer not sure about now. I also believe Bahco bought snap-on so they're a brand now. They may manufacture some stuff still though.
Hi Chris! Great video. Do you know who napa evercraft is made by?
Only giving All Mighty Red a 5 second foot note is criminal
Ryobi use to make fishing reels
Sound like u got it down!!😀
I'm pretty sure but I could be wrong that, Komelon isaffiliated with Channellock and they're both owned by Apex tool group
Good stuff Chris...alot of people can use this info...
Neither one of those companies are owned by Apex Tool Group.
why are the tools so clean? my mind!
Great question. Because I have at least 10 different tool sets and another 26” toolbox and rolling cart that have more tools. I then have TUB O' TOWELS and brake clean.
Them gearwrench sockets look just like my Carlyle sockets even the same rail
the NAPA Hand Tool division has many vendors and APEX is for sure one of them but they have a really wide variety of tools they resell and have as private label also.
@@jimhaines8370 okay
Funny thing is the Carlyle and the power built look just like the Power Torque from Orileys auto
Craftsman has a new plant in Texas.
I have some Genius tools including metric 3/8 socket sets, torx, and hex bits sockets. Have used them day to day in a dealership environment, and have been just as good as SK, Snap On, Mac if not better considering the cost. I bealive they are taiwan made? Couldnt find much info. I also have been using TechPro chinese made tools also really good for the price.
I think you forgot Tekton???
IR is powerbuilt
Will you touch on the subject of expecting a company like amazon or ebay warrantying a tool from all the different brands they sell. I think you would be able to give a good educated response for people to understand easily. I find it blasphemous for me to expect amazon to carryout the lifetime warranty on my wrenches.
Great points Yota
I feel the same way.
Always look forward to your videos by the way I got your package. I made a video on the ingersoll rand comfort grip ratchet. I do believe alltrade makes them but dont quote me.
Yes, you are correct they are made by AllTrade👌🏻
Let me know when ya release it. Just subscribed to your channel.
I already did awhile back. Its not the best video I just started and it was one of the first I'll try and post a link
czcams.com/video/vn_N-SqO_Wo/video.html
Let me get that sk set 😊
What kinds of work do you guys do??
my take: the only difference between the asia produced tools is QC. In asia, industrial sectors are broken into regions, and as a result similar products tend to all come from the same place. that's not to say all of them are the same company, but they tend to have the same capabilities and processes. This is especially true of heavy industries, and so I'm very confident in saying the asian tool makers are all essentially the same nameless company and they difference in price you see boils down to two things: Cost of marketing and quality control. That isn't to say you're not getting what you paid for. The fact is, in order to remain profitable, tools which are not up to spec are sold anyways, and so when you pay more, it's in the hopes that that company has fostered good relationship with the asian manufacturere and are given "first dibs". Notably, this doesn't translate to brands having perfect records, either. you have to go product by product.
ko
Okay, now that I've said my piece on asian manufacturing, here's another take of mine.. Gearwrench is appears to get pick of the litter, but you have to be careful because gearwrench also supplies the $$$ to do new products which may or may not be any good (think their ratcheting flarenut). This kind of relationship assuredly means they get first dibs on the boilerplate tools and why when you stick to basics, gearwrench is considered very high end stuff.
Other companies like Tekton do good as well in a different way. They buy garbage and good tools and do their own QC. That's why often you'll see Tekton unexpdectedly out of stock of items. If they were in control of their own supply line, this would be no problem, but it appears they have someone "curate" the stock so they can pass the savings of a lower QC tier down to the customer without passing them so much of the out-of-specification forging/metallurgy.
So what defines QC "tiers"? well, that's a industry secret, but it's likely a lot of things.. lot codes where the company can verify small errors are likely the biggest factor, such as a small misalignment of forge hammers, extended breakdowns which cause steel stock to cool too much, and early smelts where the crucible has a lot of fluctuation in temperature or molybdenum is chunky and unevenly dispersed.all sorts of things can translate, visibly and invisibly, to the tool, and because customers exist at all different price points, there is not a reason to discard an imperfect tool.
Vise grip used to be the orginal maker and distributor of vise grips they are now owned by Rubbermaid yep but they were originally there own manufactur company and brand
Originally made in Dewitt, Nebraska.
And then Newell-Rubbermaid sold Irwin, Lenox, and Hilmor to Stanley Black and Decker in 2016.
@@ClientGraphics yep
@@MichaelMoscicki oh good update
You missed Great neck tools of longisland....they started making saws in 1923 i think....they sold their own line but also made tools for companies such as husky and kobalt back in the day.
Yes, Great Neck Saw started as a hacksaw blade manufacturer. Today they sells tools under brands like Great Neck, Sheffield, OEMTool (love all the green items they have), GreatLite, Mayes, and Buck Bros. The have made private label items for tool lines such as Duralast, Husky and Kobalt.
That was a autozone house brand many years ago right?
You didn't even touch the tip of the iceburg on portable power. Otherwise, nice random selections of tidbits pertaining to just your own personal collection.
Multiple v brands of same tool getting more common versus same maker own design.
Can you test the 3/4" breaker bars? The better ones are over 40", but I still have to use a 8' pipe to get enough torque for the large bolts. The movie "The fast and the furious" told us that Dom beat a man with a 3/4" torque wrench and the guy lived. Sometimes Hollywood needs to do more research as a 3/4" torque wrench is 40" long and heavy enough to kill in one strike.
Without a pipe and using some leg leverage you can easily do 700-800 ft-lbs so adding an 8’ pipe is going to allow you to double that and probably more.
@@ClientGraphics If I would break down and buy a torque multiplier, that would make my life much easier. The problem is where to store it. My tools are set up for mobile, so a large tool chest isn't a solution.
The way this guy pronounces the names of some of these companies like Tworks…😂
Olsa tools looks like Sonic tools
Ingersoll rand sold proto to standl
Oh HI, very nice description on tools. However 1 of the companies is spelled and pronounced Chervon , not CHEVRON. NICE COLLECTION OF TOOLS !
How about Tekton? Do you have any idea about their history and such?
Tekton is an independent that both manufacturers and sources from Asia. They’re based in Grand Rapids, MI.
Hyper Tough are not bad tools. Better than nothing.
Hi Chris 😊😊 I enjoyed the tool history lesson. I liked the tool box until my face was matching the box being Green with Envy
Then you had to open the power tool drawer and I saw that Beautiful Kobalt Blue and wouldn't you know that I started DROOLING !!! You don't have duplicates, you have Quintuplets !!! LMBO 🤩😁 please say Hello to Amy for me. Y'all are great People ❤️❤️ Ridney
Ingersoll-Rand is made by Alltrade. What about Cornwell tools? I saw a Tekton label but nothing was said about them, some are USA built and others Taiwan. Alloy Artifacts is an awesome web site for tool ID and history. Thanks for your info.
Tekton is simply a brand and company. They are not a manufacturer to my knowledge as they source and contract with other manufacturers to make products and have all country of origin for each product on its website.
Cornwell tools is a brand company and manufacturer. They make some handtools in house at their Albion, Pennsylvania foundry and Mogadore, Ohio machining plants.
I have a question. My boyfriend told me of a line of tools he likes and all I remember about it is that wherever you see a guy on the tool that is to let you know not to use that part to hit it there. Can anyone tell me what those are called please
A while back, I bought a set of tools off the Mac truck. It was Another brand he was selling. The name of the brand is professional. Any idea if professional brand is still sold off the Mac truck?
I wonder if a brand goes to a manufacturer with their own specs, so you could have two identical looking tools, but one is just carbon steel and one is a much superior alloy steel.
I believe some Manufacturers do allow them to have slightly different specs however it simple costs more to some extent or less if they cut corners.
Specs and packaging are taken into consideration. I know for a fact that a large manufacturer has about 50-70 variations of packaging for each common drive ratchet due to them being a source for several other “brands” including their own.
Ingersoll rand sold proto to Stanley at one time😢
Why did he stop making videos? I just found the channel.
Germany made? (gedore, hazet, stahlwille, bahco...)
You need more tools !
I’ll make sure I tell my wife I’m cleared to buy more tools 🧰
I’m pretty sure Mac tools is owned by black and decker stanley
Apex vs husky whos better?
Have you try KOKEN?
I haven’t at this time. Maybe in the future.
Think both Milwaukee and Ridgid are tti except the red Ridgid pluming tool’s
Great vid , but a few mistakes
Looks like you have too many tools hahaha who am I kidding? One can never have enough tools!
Who makes tekton socket?
What’s the best tool brand to ever own? Top 5
Cant never have enough ratchets
Hopefully that ALWAYS stay true.
What happened to Great Neck tools
Ridgid Tools are NOT made by Ridgid Plumbing Tools own by Emerson Elect. Ridgid Power Tools are made by EAG in Europe , owns by TTI who also owns Milwaukee,
Man the sheer amount of ratchet wrenches is disgusting. I wish you would do a budget 1/2 inch standard ratchet not extendable or long handle show down like, Stanley, husky, mastercraft, craftsman, shoppro, hart and kobalt. I dont really consider icon or tekton ECT as a budget brand as here in canada they tend to cost comparable to snap on and mac.
Stanley Works should be broken up! Write your Congressman!!
Ratchet overflow drawer 😆 😆
Harbor Freight Doyles are hit and miss, be careful buying them. Not sure what is going on with the quality control there but some of them are built bad, but the good ones are very nice though. I bought 2 adjustable wrenchs a 10 and a 12, and both had issues. The 12 inch wouldnt adjust all the way to the end and the 10 inch adjuster would jam up. Went back to HF, got replacements and they are very nice.
Edit: also shake em up a bit to see how much play they have, the bad ones has alot of play
