Hart Tools is one of the most recognizable brands on the market for everything from hammers and screwdrivers to power tools, but where are they made?
These days, there are more brand names than ever operating in the mid-range tool arena. One might easily argue that Hart is among the most prominent, if only because of the brand’s exclusivity deal with big-box retail titan Walmart. Big box exclusivity aside, Hart’s status as a major market player has been bolstered by a growing reputation for manufacturing solid tools that won’t set consumers back too many Greenbacks.
If you’re unfamiliar with the brand, Hart was founded in Los Angeles, California, in 1983. At the time, however, its product line consisted solely of framing hammers. Hammers are still a big part of the Hart product line, currently available online and through Walmart. But in the decades since its founding, the company’s offerings have expanded well beyond just those tools, with the Hart logo now fronting dozens of powered cordless devices, handheld tools, and various other DIY accessories.
Given the origins of the Hart brand, you might be thrilled by the prospect that Walmart is backing a distinctly American company.
