General
Tools are among the world's best hand
tools for trades ranging from plumbing to precision
machining. Although the General name has only
been seen on these tools since 1990, they are
made with precision by a company which has been
making and selecting only the best hand tools
since 1922. The company started as a hardware
wholesaling and manufacturing firm, but was soon
making their own top quality tools. A look at
just a few of the key tool sectors from General
Tools Company shows the quality and durability
of their tool line-up.
General Woodworking Tools
General
woodworking tools are some of the best quality
tools and accessories for your shop. From drill
accessories like flexible shaft extenders and
countersinks for boring holes to trammels and
compasses for creating plans for your projects,
General woodworking tools offer something for
everyone. One of General's newest products is
a dowelling jig that allows you to create professional
joints in almost any kind of wood. The company
has also expanded its line to include a high
quality industrial speed chuck that lets you
quickly change ¼" hex shank bits.
Industrial
Tools
The chances are good that you will find General
industrial tools in almost any machine shop or
factory. That is because General industrial tools
have a great reputation for being accurate and
precise, without giving up strength or durability.
General micrometers and depth gauges are designed
by experienced draftsmen and machinists, with
the result that these tools are tailor made for
these specialties. General's center punches,
scribers, and taps and dies are also designed
by professionals for professionals to use.
The
Family Tradition of General
One of the best reasons to invest in high quality
General hand tools and machine tools is the General
Tools Company's history of quality and innovation.
The company was started in the 1920s as a hardware
store by a young couple. They were soon producing
their own tools, built to exacting specifications.
The company has remained in the hands of the
Rosenberg / Weinstein family since it was established,
and as such is one of the only large tool companies
in the world to retain family ownership. This
means that decisions about which tools to manufacture
and sell are made by people who have the tool
business in their blood, and this is a great
reason to choose General Tools.
