Founded in 1925, Blue Point Tool Company was formed in Wisconsin, United States, as a tools manufacturing company.

The Blue Point name was derived then from the blue-coloured tip of punches & chisels formed after oil quenching and tempering.

This distinguished Blue Point’s products from competitors’ and Blue Point eventually became a brand synonymous with quality hand tools. Following the successful introduction of the Blue Point punches and chisels, the management turned to their Milwaukee supplier factory to provide open end wrenches and


Issued this order:

"Forget competition, forget price, forget precedent; just take our order to make the best wrench in the world, and we will sell them regardless of competition and regardless of price."

A short time later the factory delivered their rst set of eight open end wrenches and guaranteed that it was IMPOSSIBLE - to break the head; to spread the jaws; to bend the handle; to injure them; or, to destroy their everlasting eciency.

That sounded like a pretty wild and extravagant claim, but the sales force set out to sell them on that basis…and sell them they did!
