U.S. Manufacturers and Brands are listed first. Brands and Manufacturers outside the U.S. are listed below alphabetically by country name.

Items are followed by the URL for the GarageJournal, Alloy-Artifacts, or other site on which images and further information can be found.

Note that because of the multitude of tool makers, some brands and manufacturers may not have been included.

This is most likely NOT a complete and comprehensive list. This is a work in progress.

Original list from: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-43274.html - originally posted by GarageJournal member PowderKeg 05-19-2011 10:04 PM
