Leatherworks (USA)

Thursday, September 8, 2011

We bought a small deal of leather pouches, sheaths and kneepads from our friends at Leatherworks, an OEM manufacturer based in Stockton, Missouri. You probably have never heard of them, since they do mostly private labeling and don’t sell to the general public, but they have an interesting assortment of items. Some of it is [...]

They used to make all of General’s US gauges and precision measuring equipment. I say “used to” because General moved most of their production overseas. They also manufacture for Mitutoyo. This closeout deal [...]

They make USA wrecking bars, hammers and axes. We currently only carry their wrecking and pinch point crowbars, but I just put an order together for a bunch of [...]
