Blackhawk Tools - Company History & Lore
This video is about the Blackhawk tool brand, which started in 1910 as American Grinder.
The first Blackhawk socket wrenches were produced under the direction of the Jonas Brothers (not those Jonas Brothers...) in 1919.
We'll cover their lawsuit with Walden-Worcester, go over some of innovations Blackhawk came up with,
the buyouts by New Britain Machine, Litton Industries, National Hand Tool, and finally Stanley, who has revived the Blackhawk brand as a sub-brand under Proto.
