Originally established in 1898 in the South Yorkshire city of Sheffield in the UK. The Record Tools Factory was swiftly able to make a long lasting contribution to the worldwide reputation of the region for the manufacture of high quality steel and castings.
The Record® brand name was introduced in 1909 and by the 1920’s the product range had expanded into Vices, Planes, Clamps and Pipe Wrenches enabling the business to grow rapidly in the UK and many overseas markets.
Today, IRWIN® Record® continues excelling by sticking to the traditional values set by its founders, producing tools that are highly valued amongst professional users for quality and durability that remains strong today.
