Mayhew Tools celebrates 170 years

Founded in 1856, Mayhew Tools has grown into a multi-category hand tool company.

Mayhew Tools is celebrating 170 years in the industry this year, continuing its role as U.S. manufacturer of professional-grade hand tools. Founded in 1856, Mayhew has grown from a punch and chisel manufacturer into a multi-category hand tool company. 

The company remains headquartered in Turner Falls, Massachusetts, with U.S.-based manufacturing operations that support both metal forging and plastic manufacturing capabilities. 

Recognized for core product categories such as pry bars, punches, chisels, and more. The company has expanded into additional categories such as screwdrivers, tile spacers, and cable ties to support a broader range of professional applications. 

As Mayhew enters its next chapter, the company plans to continue expanding its product offerings, supporting its distributor network, and investing in the manufacturing capabilities and workforce needed to deliver professional-grade tools.
