Since 1908, Central Tools, Inc. has been a name synonymous with precision measuring instruments. The company’s first products were micrometers. In the late 1940’s Central expanded its tool line to include other specialty measuring devices for the automotive aftermarket. In 2000 STORM™ measuring tools was developed as our value line, providing a high quality reasonably priced option. In 2012 we acquired Moody Tools adding precision screwdrivers, picks, probes and scribers to our product mix. In 2015 we grew again with the addition of King Tools, which along with scribers and picks also manufactures tip drills and soapstone holders. Both of these acquisitions have been relocated to our Cranston, RI facility.
