My sister worked for Vaco (here in Chicago) a long time ago and I was lucky enough to get "samples" for free (at least she said they were free).
They were mostly electrical/electronic tools but were very well made and felt good to the grip. I still use many of them some 35 years LATER and they still perform flawlessly!!! Too bad they had to move to "cheaper pastures".
I believe their first move was to the South before going "over seas" somewhere:
either way I seldom hear about Vaco as a brand anymore.
