How Tools are Made

Filed under Industry News

First off, I never knew (nor would I have guessed) until today that there was a blog for the National Association of Manufacturers. It's shopfloor.org...pretty clever. Even more cool, their April 1st entry (seriously) focuses on Cool Stuff Being Made and features a 'video of the week' about how hand tools are manufacturered.

The video actually focuses on Channellock, manufacturer of high-quality pliers, screwdrivers and other hand tools. Lots of cool technologies involved, like high-end CAD programs and precision manufacturing equipment. A little 'made in the USA' pride is mixed in there for good measure.
