History of Klein Tools: Providing Quality Tools Since 1857
The founder of Klein Tools, Mathias Klein, emigrated from Germany to Chicago in 1857 and set up his first forge shop in a downtown business district. The first tool he ever made was made in two parts. A lineman came to his shop with a pair of side-cutting pliers with half of the tool broken. Klein forged a new half for the tool in his shop and riveted it to the original half. The same lineman came back shortly after because the other original half of his pliers broke, so Klein once again forged a new half, creating the first compete pair of Klein lineman pliers.
Klein’s business began expanding in the 1860s as the demand for dependable hand tools skyrocketed with the invention and use of the telephone, new industries created by the use of electric power, and the expansion of the railroads. By the turn of the Twentieth century, Klein had more than 100 types of pliers available to supply professionals working in a wide range of industries.
Throughout the Twentieth century, Klein Tools acquired other manufacturers to expand even further, including R.H. Burke Company that manufactured occupational protective equipment, William Warne Co. that manufactured leather pouches, and Vaco Products Company that manufactured screwdrivers, nut drivers, and hex-key wrenches. They also expanded into Mexico, Brazil, and Australia through acquisitions, subsidiaries, and sister companies.
Since 2000, Klein Tools has continued to expand as a company and open new facilities throughout the U.S. They are now the #1 preferred hand tool manufacturer in the electrical industry, and they make high quality tools and equipment for linemen and workers in the maintenance, construction, and industrial trades.
Klein Tools Today: Still a Family Business
Klein Tools has become a multi-million dollar manufacturer and is still operated by the fifth and sixth generations of Mathias Klein’s family. They continue to uphold the standard set by their founder of providing the best tools available that meet and exceed expectations.
