With two U.S. patents and three trademarks and over 600 different hammers found everywhere from the heights of space (SpaceX) down to the deepest coal and copper mines on planet Earth. We are the quintessential hammer company and very proud of our success.”
 
What are your future goals for this product? “Building or purchasing a larger facility so that we can bring all of our manufacturing here under one roof and hiring many more Wilmington residents while we produce the man’s oldest tool; for the world and beyond.”
