Standards & Compliance
Built to international standards.
Our sockets and wrenches are engineered to the recognized dimensional and performance standards importers and distributors expect — so the tools we ship fit, perform and interchange the way your market requires.
Certification
ISO 9001 certified quality management
Our quality management system is certified to ISO 9001 — the international standard for consistent quality and continual improvement. The way we control forging, machining, heat treatment and inspection is documented and audited, not ad hoc.
Product standards
Sockets & wrenches
Where a product references a standard, it is manufactured to the dimensions and requirements that standard defines.
German standards defining square drive connections and the dimensions of socket wrench tools, so drives and sockets interchange reliably across brands.
International standard for hand- and machine-operated square-drive socket wrenches, specifying dimensions and design so tooling is compatible worldwide.
The ASME B107 series covers the dimensional and performance requirements for hand tools — including sockets and wrenches — used across the North American market.
Export compliance
Selling into regulated markets
Exporting worldwide means meeting each market's chemical and safety expectations. We partner with our customers to help their products clear the requirements of their destination market.
The EU REACH regulation restricts Substances of Very High Concern. We support customers selling into the EU by sourcing and finishing tools with SVHC obligations in mind.
Prop 65 requires warnings about exposure to listed chemicals. We work with importers to help their products meet the disclosure expectations of the California market.
