It is a reminder once again of how manufacturing is synonymous with high tech. And, you'll see that Channellock ships to 59 countries and has a warehouse in the Netherlands to supply its customers throughout the EU." - [via] - Link.

I must say I did not know that hand tools were made via computer technology nor with lasers. I love tools and can't resist buying but I'm glad to have a better understanding about how they are made. I would like to know history also. I guess I have some researching to do.
