Was wondering if any of the tool gurus knew of the MIDCO tool Co.? Doesn't say Made In USA, but it does have a small triangle stamped on it making me think it mightve been part of that Delta group that bought up Herbrand and Bonney and Cooper tools back in the day. It certainly appears to be quality tool. TIA

For contractors on big construction jobs. I have ran in to it in the states where really big operators has stuff batch ran, sometimes their own name added but some generic. If it said Klein or proto and some models of Channelocks they would get stolen even more.

We have done this at my work, we have our own branded job boxes rather than the other contractors who usually stencil their name on

I don't think it's a Triangle wrench...my money is on a Crescent relabel.

I was on a job where they had changed some tools. You could find some sockets floating around and once in a while a ratchet. Old Proto and some sockets say Challenger. They got plain, no label, not a mark except size. They changed the ratchet to some super Cheap Easco type like you could have found in a 5$ kmart socket set from the 70's. Wasnt worth stealing.
They had Channelok with their own proprietary model number, the geometry just a pinch off the 400 series.
We cut a lot of steel and stainless welding rod, they had Diamond for the side cutters. They were as good as a Klein as far as I could tell. The adjustables were Proto and Diamond. Some Proto wrenches, some plain.
