What Made in the USA Means at Klein Tools

Klein Tools operates nine plants in the US:

Lincolnshire, IL makes screwdrivers and nut drivers	Skokie, IL makes pliers, grips, fish tapes, and other tools	Mansfield, TX Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center

Klein Tools de Mexico has operated a plant in Mexico City since 1970. This plant produces products for the Mexican and Central American markets. A few tools that are made here are sold in the US, like our knockout punches, but for the most part Mexican made products are consumed in Mexico. Klein Tools has never closed a US plant and outsourced manufacturing to other countries – and we have no plans to do so. Klein Tools does sell some products that are made in other countries to our quality standards. For the most part, these are items that are simply not produced in the US any more – a good example is electronic products like multimeters. So, you can rest assured that Klein Tools remains firmly committed to US manufacturing and continues to invest in the latest technologies for our US production facilities.
