Founded in 1856, Mayhew Steel Products (Mayhew Tools) is the oldest punch and chisel manufacturer in the United States. As we’ve grown from a small tool house to the industry leader, there’s only one thing that hasn’t changed—our dedication to quality, reliability, and craftsmanship. That’s why we’ve become the tool of choice for certified technicians and professional mechanics across the country, and have found a home in the belts of do-it-yourselfers as well.

Over time our product line has grown but our passion for manufacturing quality hand tools continues as we serve the Industrial, Automotive and Hardware industries. 

During our more than 150-year history, we’ve been able to expand both our physical size and breadth of products without losing sight of our heritage. That includes staying true to our American roots, by keeping our newly constructed headquarters in the heart of the original tool country—Western Massachusetts, home to our corporate office and 100,000 square foot warehouse and manufacturing facilities. Mayhew controls all functions from raw material receiving to final tool inspection and packaging. Our recent expansion continues with the creation of two distinct product lines (MayhewPro and MayhewSelect) geared specifically for our hardworking customers—both the professional and occasional user that wants to know what the Pros know. Mayhew is ISO 9001:2008 Certified.

The MayhewPro Series of professional-grade tools deliver unwavering performance to get the job done right… now. These tools are for the men and women who count on their tools to work properly each and every time they pick them up—because anything less amounts to lost time and revenue. Backed by a lifetime warranty*, MayhewPro delivers unmatched, reliable performance, ensuring you always have what you need, right when you need it, to get the job done.

The Pros Know

Understanding the Mayhew Difference

From the beginning, Mayhew has understood that when your livelihood depends on the quality of your tools, just good enough wouldn’t cut it. And since 1856 we’ve made tools that reflect the character of the men and women who use them: Exceptional, Reliable, Tough.

That’s how we’ve become the preferred name in hand tools for professional mechanics—by manufacturing hand tools that are guaranteed to perform exactly as they're intended, every single time you pick them up. No one has time for anything less. And we’ve taken that same approach to quality when selecting tools for our do-it-yourself customers as well. Sure, it might be a hobby or weekend home repair project, but these folks take what they do just as seriously and deserve tough, reliable tools to match their dedication.
