Gray Tools is the only company manufacturing Combo (reg. and stubby), double open end, double box, flare wrenches, ratchets, chrome non-swivel sockets (not sure about all impacts), chrome extensions and clear yellow hard handle screwdrivers, blue coloured chisels, pin punches etc., blue and/or nickel plated roll, pinch and pry bars, orange handled prybars in Canada.
Their screwdrivers are made by Fuller I believe (correct me if I'm wrong).
As for
STILL making any types of
hand tools in Canada, from my posting in another thread:
Fuller makes a full line of screwdrivers in Canada under their own name, under the Craftsman name for the Canadian Sears market, and I'm pretty sure they're back to making Canadian Tire's hard plastic handle drivers today (although these last one's are marked 'with domestic and imported components')
Eco Diesel makes a poly hammer in Canada ".... a manufacturer of industrial grade polyurethane dead blow hammers..."
Picquic makes bit-changing screwdrivers, but I'm 99% sure only the handle is made here, maybe the shaft as well, but as for the bits - they refused to tell me where the bits were made.
Richard Tools (http://www.arichard.com/ui/s_public/en/home.aspx) still makes a lot of tools in Canada, including their classic red lever bar, newer steel end **** prybars, and scrapers. But sad, as I've seen them sending more and more production to Asia.
As for
FORMER production in Canada - I've NEVER seen anything MAC made in Canada - news to me!
But other brands made here in Canada WERE:
Snap on, Blue Point
Proto, Challenger, Fleet, P&C and Penens
Herbrand
I think there were more and they were all mentioned in a thread (which I can't find right now), but others like Stanley made screwdrivers and other hand tools here (no sockets or wrenches that I've seen however...).
