About this deal

Footprint Tools is a hand tool manufacturer based in Sheffield, England. In 2014 most of their hand tools are still made in Sheffield at the Footprint factory.

The Footprint wrench was designed in 1875 but is just as useful in todays’ modern world. Thousands are sold across the globe every year for use as a general plumbing and pipe work tool.Many utility and construction companies require the original Footprint wrench (not cheap copies) in the toolkits for their employees due to the reputation as a quality tool to trust.

With the same family of owner managers, now run by the fourth generation, in 2015 Footprint continues to manufacture most products in Sheffield, England and exports worldwide. [6] Products [ edit ] During World War 2 the divisions of the business were engaged in manufacturing hand tools for British and Commonwealth forces. After the war Footprint continued to grow, manufacture and expand its range hand tools for the professional tradesman. The Footprint brand originates from 1875 when Thomas R Ellin, a member of a cutlery manufacturing family, started a tool manufacturing business under the brand “Footprint”. This subsequently became known as Thomas R Ellin (Footprint Works). This company was bought by the current owning family in 1948 [1] and began to manufacture a range of tools under the Footprint, Domino, Climax, John Bull and Clinker brands.It has an old fashioned design but within the design and quality of manufacturing lies its’ secret. Footprint Pipe Wrench: This tool was developed in 1880 to aid removing the old style grinding wheels that were commonly used in Sheffield, it was adopted by tradesmen as a result of its ability to move difficult nuts. The design is such that the tighter the handle is squeezed, the tighter the jaws clamp onto the work piece. Woodworking Tools: A range of traditional wood working tools ranging from Marking and Mortice Gauges to hand saws. [7] [8]
