An Introduction to Gedore Tools

For 100 years, Gedore Tools has been a name associated with quality German tools. Their story is a familiar one in the world of German tools, Gedore started from a small forge operated by German toolmaker Otto Dowidat in 1919. Dowidat expanded the reach of Gedore to a global brand after decades focused on making the best quality tools possible. This quality helped the brand grow through word of mouth and their reputation for superior tools. Gedore’s impressive quality and use of toolmaking specialists helped this brand grow and expand until today when Gedore is one of the market leaders of German tools.  

Gedore is known for their conventional hand tools which includes screwdrivers, wrenches, hammers, sockets bits and torque tools. These tools are excellent for use at home for the tool aficionado or the professional working in a garage or other handyman roles. Their reach extends further though with a range of super specialized tools like torque tools for heat exchangers, all of which we can special order should the need arise.
