Designed for use across automotive, construction, woodworking, industrial, and home improvement projects, Mayhew Tools supports both professionals and DIY enthusiasts with durable, high-quality solutions.
Founded in 1856, Mayhew Tools has grown from a punch and chisel manufacturer into a multi-category hand tool company serving customers through an extensive distributor network.
The company remains headquartered in Turners Falls, Massachusetts, with U.S.-based manufacturing operations that support both metal forging and plastic manufacturing capabilities.
“Reaching 170 years reflects the people behind this company and the consistency of the work they do every day,” said John Lawless, president, Mayhew Tools. “We continue to manufacture in the United States, invest in our capabilities, and support the professionals who depend on our tools.”
Mayhew is recognized for core product categories including pry bars, punches, chisels, demo tools, bits, and pneumatic tools. In recent years, the company has expanded into additional categories such as screwdrivers, tile spacers, and cable ties to support a broader range of professional and trade applications.
The company’s two dedicated U.S.-based manufacturing facilities allow Mayhew to maintain quality, consistency, and production capabilities across its growing product portfolio.
Select items are sourced globally to provide a comprehensive product offering that meets the needs of customers and distribution partners.
As Mayhew enters its next chapter, the company plans to continue expanding its product offerings, supporting its distributor network, and investing in the manufacturing capabilities and workforce needed to deliver professional-grade tools.
