Mayhew Tools is celebrating 170 years in business, continuing its long-standing role as a U.S. manufacturer of professional-grade hand tools.
Founded in 1856, Mayhew Tools has grown from a punch and chisel manufacturer into a multi-category hand tool company serving customers through an extensive distributor network. The company remains headquartered in Turners Falls, Massachusetts, with U.S.-based manufacturing operations that support both metal forging and plastic manufacturing capabilities.
“Reaching 170 years reflects the people behind this company and the consistency of the work they do every day,” says John Lawless, Mayhew Tools president. “We continue to manufacture in the United States, invest in our capabilities and support the professionals who depend on our tools.”
The company’s two dedicated U.S.-based facilities allow Mayhew to maintain quality, consistency and production capabilities across its growing product portfolio. While the majority of Mayhew’s products are manufactured domestically, the company also sources select items globally to provide a comprehensive product offering that meets the varied needs of its customers and distribution partners.
