Armstrong tools have been leaders in the American
tool industry for over 100 years. Four Scottish
brothers formed the Armstrong Brothers Tool Company
in 1890, and while they initially focused on
bicycle parts they quickly moved into the tool
manufacturing business. Throughout the twentieth
century Armstrong Tools pioneered many advances
in the manufacture of tools, and their drop forged
tools are still among the best in the world.
The
Armstrong Tool Company was started in Chicago,
and it remains headquartered there to this day.
The company has two factories, one in Chicago
and one in Fayetteville Arkansas. The Armstrong
Company was owned by the four Scottish brothers
and their descendents for 105 years before being
sold to the Danaher Corporation in 1994. Under
this new ownership the company has continued
to produce industrial grade hand
tools.
Armstrong industrial hand tools
Armstrong industrial hand tools are made from
the strongest steel using drop forging technology
pioneered by Armstrong in the mid-1900s. They
include extra innovations for durability; examples
of this include closed head designs for added
strength and flex and open head combo wrenches
with heavy duty construction.
There
are many different types of Armstrong hand
tools. These include heavy duty wrench sets
in a variety of styles, including traditional
box and open ended wrenches, adjustable (crescent)
wrenches, and flare nut wrenches. You can also
get high quality ratchet and socket sets, with
sizes ranging from the smallest of ¼ inch
drive sets to heavy duty ½ inch drive
sets. Armstrong also offers industry specific
hand tool sets, including sets for pipe fitters,
plumbers, and auto mechanics. And Armstrong also
offers heavy duty impact sockets that will fit
any impact driver; these sets of sockets are
made from high alloy steel, with a cold formed
safety collar to ensure that the pins will not
cause injury.
The Armstrong Tool Company has been in the business
of tools for many years, and the tools they offer
feature industry leading advances in manufacturing
technology and materials. Armstrong manufactures
all its tools in the United States, and backs
them with a lifetime warranty. This is why many
professionals looking for quality tools choose
Armstrong tools.
