At Wright Tool, we believe that manufacturing tools domestically is not just a choice but a commitment to superior quality. Here’s a closer look at why American-made tools, like those we produce in Barberton, Ohio, are more important now than ever before.
At Wright Tool, we take immense pride in our commitment to forging the highest quality tools right here in the USA, all under one roof in Barberton, Ohio.
Tools are very carefully designed and inspected to be in accordance with the American Society Mechanical Engineers (ASME) standards, which provide values for strength as well as dimensions. In practice, our designs pack as much strength as we can into the allowable space. This means that we are often substantially stronger than the value in the standard.
The difference between the wrench breaking and not breaking may be just a few percentage points in strength, so the factors discussed here might sound minor, but they can produce very substantial results in time, money, and safety.
We cannot do without fasteners to hold things together and fasteners must be turned with wrenches. Wrenches do not appear to have changed much in 50 years, but fasteners certainly have. Most fasteners used to be made with steel with an ultimate strength of 60,000 psi.
It’s common knowledge that if you try too small of a wrench on a fastener, it won’t fit, and you’ll lose time changing wrenches
