Unfortunately today it seems as if the woodworking hand tool has very
much become the second-class citizen in many tool shops around the
world. It seems that more and more people are ready to use power tools
such as table saws and band saws for carrying out those tasks that were
once only done using hand tools.
Although power tools can be very
useful, there is much that can be said for the hand tool as well. In
fact one company that seems to keep going even in this world of power
mad woodworkers is Stanley Woodworking Hand Tools.
The Stanley
Company has been around now for more than 160 years and is familiar to
people in more than 130 different countries across the globe. Certainly
the name of Stanley Tools has been familiar to woodworkers and
homeowners for all this time.
Originally the company was set up
by Frederick T Stanley in New Britain, Connecticut to produce door
bolts. But since it humble beginnings the company has now flourished
into one of the biggest suppliers of locks, woodworking and hand tools
that is easily recognizable around the world.
Certainly if you
were to look in any good woodworking workshop around the world and not
just a professional one you will find that they will have an assortment
of various Stanley woodworking hard tools in their tool racks or boxes.
Certainly
one of the most successful items that Stanley has ever produced is the
Stanley Plane. Since the 1870's Stanley have sold millions of their cast
iron hand planes much of which are based on patents that they purchased
from Leonard Bailey of Boston, Massachusetts. They so perfected this
tool that many modern day plane makers still use a lot of the same
principals in their tools.
Since the first plane was manufactured
the Stanley woodworking hand tool division of Stanley has purchased
many other patents as well as entire plane manufacturing companies and
have also continued to improve the design of their planes right up until
the first half of the 20th Century.
It is because the Stanley
company has been around for so long and are so well associated with the
world of woodworking and producing such high quality hand tools that
they seem to be able to compete effectively with power tools.
So
when you are next considering purchasing some good quality equipment for
your carpentry workshop then I would suggest that you look no further
than buying some Stanley woodworking hand tools.
